Yourcodenameis: Milo were an alternative rock band formed in Tyne and Wear, Uk. Milo's style of music is very influenced by early post-hardcore bands such as Fugazi and At The Drive-In, mixed with a weird theme of sci-fi and space. They are mainly known for their 2004 mini album, All Roads To Fault and the title track. In 2005 they released their first full length, Ignoto. Their debut album features artwork by Storm Thorgerson, the man that most people will know as the creator of Biffy Clyro's recent artwork. In 2006 after splitting with their current label, they released a collaboration album entitled Print Is Dead Vol. 1. The album features artists from bands such as The Automatic, Bloc Party and Reuben amongst others. This album never really got the credit it deserves for some reason, it's simply fantastic. It's like Josh Homme's Desert Session's series, yet amazing. In 2007 their second full length, They Came From The Sun, was released. Not quite sure how I discovered Milo, I just remember their name sticking out to me. I picked up their first album purely based upon listening to All Roads To Fault a few times. After a few weeks of listening to the album, it fell to the back of my listening pile until I saw them support Biffy Clyro at the Camden Roundhouse. WOW. They were amazing. They were such a different band live than on record, so much energy, so much power and yes, so much heavier and louder. Sadly it was the only chance I got to see them in action, as they set themselves on an indefinite hiatus in 2007. Guitarist/Vocalist Paul Mullen replaced that screeching guy from The Automatic. I decided that this was a bad move and lost respect for him. However, the other day I heard The Automatic's new song and yes, very YCNIM influenced and I'm liking it.
