Milburn - Demos

Milburn were a band formed in Sheffield in the mid '00s, and who split up in 2009 after the release of their second album. They were part of the group of Sheffield bands that broke through following Arctic Monkey's success, alongside bands like Reverend and the Makers and Little Man Tate. Despite this, they supposedly had the early Arctic Monkeys sound before the Monkeys themselves, much like The Real People and Oasis. There are tons of different collections of demos floating about but I collected all the ones I could find and the result is this exhaustive collection spanning their short career. It is admittedly fairly ramshackle, especially where tracklisting and song info are concerned, but it should be easily fixable on iTunes. I made this artwork to accompany the demos, as there was none previously available. This is recommended to fans of the Sheffield bands mentioned above, especially Arctic Monkeys fans who miss the bands 'old' sound, although I would recommend listening to one of Milburn's two studio albums before taking the plunge and downloading this, as there is a lot of Milburn here!
