Biography

Yourcodenameis:milo were an alternative rock/experimental/math/post-hardcore band from Washington in North East England, UK. They were best known for their debut 2004 mini album All Roads To Fault, which was followed in 2005 by the album Ignoto, both on Fiction / Polydor Records. In 2006 the band left their Polydor contract and within a month signed a new record deal with V2 Records. In November 2006, the band released Print Is Dead Vol 1, a side project album featuring collaborations with other bands. The band’s second full-length album, They Came From The Sun, was released on April 2, 2007.

Yourcodenameis:milo’s style was influenced by earlier post-hardcore/progressive bands, especially the likes of Cave In, Shellac, Fugazi, and At the Drive-In. Themes such as space/sci-fi dominate their sound and elements, such as track titles and artwork, were often quirky and in-line with a very specific motif the band created for themselves (The Designers Republic are responsible for the band’s early artwork with Storm Thorgerson producing artwork from the Rapt. Dept. EP onwards).

While effects were used heavily, as with any post-hardcore band, overproduction is not evident and a raw sound is achieved on both albums. Critics of the album cite the production (often fuzzy and indistinguishable) as the reason the albums have not done well commercially; however, a common retort is that the production is an accurate representation of the band’s live performances, and suits the band.

    Someone I know who dates the drummer from the band's later days said for me to keep an eye out but that was months ago. Paul still jams with at least one other original member so far as I know. I wouldn't say a reunion is that unfeasible, just not expecting all original members as they're doing such different things now. Saw Bez walking around Newcastle in a suit one day, ages after he left the band. He'd got a 'real job', I understood but was a bit gutted haha.

    2fuzzle3: i think the shoutbox is dead because the only thing that can unite all milo fans is reunion. It would be such a beautiful view. But we can only dream about it. You never know what can happen. So here's your 17 bsides https://www.dropbox.com/s/71luel69mejkuds/17bsides.zip

    Scandinavia from Peel Sessions sounds really great, too bad it wasn't published as studio record.

    Has anyone heard Milo's Peel sessions? Found an early version of 17 from before Ignoto was released. It's on the ycnimblog soundcloud.
