Attacking your senses like the warped bastard child of Queens Of The Stone Age loaded up on a vintage batch of whisky, Milestone will pound your head into compliance with their invigorating blend of scuzzy Alt-rock.Set firmly apart from their Metalcore peers in South Wales, Milestone are inspired by the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Them Crooked Vultures, The Black Keys, Jack White, and the Foo Fighters, and loosely sit within the arena of twisted alternative-rock with their hearty and alluring angular sound, underpinned by edgy blues rock.

Review

"South Wales and Rock n Roll aren’t too things that I tend to associate, but hav
ing heard this EP from Milestone that might be about to change. This is an EP which takes blues and rock, melds them together and offers up a sound that is accessible, rock orientated, blues tainted, hard rock – which could well be a whole new genre altogether! Whatever the style, this is an EP which I’m glad I’ve heard, and a band I’ll be looking to check out this year for sure. Highly recommended for sure." - Dave Nicholls; www.loud-stuff.com/milestone

The Lash are a 45,000 RPM rock & soul hurricane from Newport, South Wales, UK, featuring the astonishing vocal talents of Erin McNamara and former 60ft Dolls drummer Carl Bevan behind the kit and on production duties. 

The quintet spent most of last year holed up writing and recording before exploding on the live scene. Check out Rent, the band's 2013 debut video shot entirely on smartphones for a budget of £0: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=higy71o6uwc

'A band who would thrive in arena sized gigs, and this EP (This One's For You) cements the hope that they’ll reach that stage some day.' - Punktastic

'Nothing short of fucking great.' - Soundscape

Hailing from South Wales, the 5 lads in Manhattan Coast have unleashed their unique brand of music to the un-suspected world since 2011. After releasing the 'Never Tell Me The Odds' & 'Beg, Borrow, or Steal' EP's in 2012, the band took strides to play shows up and down the country, and to let everyone know what this band is about. The EP's led the band to BBC Radio 1 airplay, as well as shows with Kids in Glass Houses, Blitz Kids & Straight Lines to name a few.

Bringing together aggression, passion, and a sense of melody, the band showcased their song-writing skills, letting everyone know exactly what they are capable of. This was cemented with the new EP 'This One's For You' which was released on February 17th 2014. The EP showed a certain maturity towards the writing of their music, and further made their mark on the sound that Manhattan Coast offer. From the opening track 'War on the Weekend' to the pop offering of 'This One's for You,' this EP stands ground amongst one of the finest offerings from South Wales to date.

After touring the UK throughout 2013, the band are touring the UK & Europe at the start of 2014, in what hopes to be the busiest year thus far for Manhattan Coast
