Plug Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Hotly-tipped newcomers The Milk will release their first ever single, ‘(All I Wanted Was) Danger’, on 28 March, produced by acclaimed hip-hop/electronic DJ and remixer Brad Baloo (The Nextmen). Following a string of sell-out shows, including XOYO’s Tips For 2011, The Milk will also headline Camden’s Barfly as part of HMV’s Next Big Thing festival on 5 February. The band has already gained a devoted live following since playing d...ates with the likes of Chase & Status, Darwin Deez and DJ Yoda, on top of appearances for BBC Introducing and Manchester’s In The City festival. They will announce a host of further live plans shortly. Having jacked in their jobs and thrown themselves into music, The Milk are already turning all the right heads. This first release shows an undeniable ear for big Soul melodies, but the band have ambitions beyond the ‘retro’, as their demos are a testament to. ‘Chip The Kids’, for instance, is a horn-drenched, disco-infused number, proving that their best may yet be to come. The hip-hop swing of ‘B-Roads’, meanwhile, points to the broader aspects of the band’s considerable taste: they idolise the Beastie Boys' seminal 'Paul's Boutique', and plan to mix their own album (like their live show) from one track into another. While they’ve found the danger they were after, you sense they’re only just getting started. http://www.myspace.com/thisisthemilk Plus support TBA @ The Forum 127-129 Devonshire Street Sheffield S3 7SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
