As a result, his songs grow ever more focussed and appealing"

Mr.Milk is a project fruit of inattention. the adventure of a lazy traveller through his room,through his head,and,extremely ever,(and very fearfully),through his heart. an unwilling still explorer that would have like the most having green eyes,being a professional thief,and kissing beautiful unknown girls; inappropriate in shape and spirit for his dreams,in 2005 he surrenders to his nature,and he finds himself writing songs. then,he played in places with a few intimate friends,and in places with a lot of intimate friends,he smiled more than he was expected to,he had the nerve to make people hug,argue,kiss,cry,meet... to get on cars,trains,planes to narrate things that he just dreamed of. mr milk plays to be a human being,and he often loses. maybe he's sick.

The Old Lone Gin Band play an eclectic mix of British music, from the Shetland Isles, to Kent, to Cornwall. If you want to know how the band got it’s name, here’s a clue: it’s an anagram.

Described as “a cross between every laurel canyon band you’ve ever heard, mixed with a healthy helping of acid”, mylittlebrother’s unique mix of 60s pop, rock and garage rock has led to a dedicated fanbase at gigs across the country, and lead to critical acclaim for their 2 albums and their blistering live shows.

Their most recent album Howl, was released in 2020 on L.A’s Big Stir Records to critical acclaim. 2023 has been spent writing the follow up, and honing their live sound by gigging all over the country, including a well received national tour in October, joined by Hector Gannet.

They have had support from Gideon Coe and Tom Robinson on BBC 6 Music, with the latter describing Nosedive as “a worthy contender for record of the week”, and further airplay has come on BBC Radio 1, Amazing Radio and local radio across the UK.

mylittlebrother’s eclectic, hard-to-pin-down style has brought invitations to perform with Frank Turner, Glasvegas and Juniore, and has lead to dozens of festival appearances including headlining stages at Kendal Calling,Wild On The Wall and Haddstock, as well as a joyous main stage appearance at Solfest. They have also appeared on the line-ups at the Sea Power curated Krankenhaus, ButeFest, EskFest, Haddstock and many more.
