Milestone are a four piece rock n roll band from
Bridgend in the South of Wales, the band have
been together since February 2013 and after sharing
the stage with many high profile artists such
as Exit International, The Dead Famous, Gavin
Butler and Neil Starr the four some are ready
to release their debut EP ‘Medicate The
Night’.
As soon as the upbeat drumbeats and dirty riffs
come in on opener ‘Dirty Knees’ you
just know that Milestone are a band to be taken
seriously as they thrash their way through the
3minutes and 43 seconds with bouncy bass lines,
pounding drum beats and fast paced guitar riffs
which will have you reaching for the Jack Daniels
bottle as you start a mini party in the comfort
of your own home to the rocking sounds of Milestone.
‘Shoot Me Down’ opens with some solid
drum beats and moments later the rest of the band
come in and before you know it Milestone have
you in the palm of their hands yet again as they
breeze through yet another fast paced slice of
rock n’ roll.
‘Blame Me’ is easily one of the strongest
tracks on the EP, as soon as you hear the opening
30 seconds you will see where I am coming from,
and the goodness does not end there as the song
becomes a big bouncy number with some of the best
fuzzy sounding guitar riffs the EP has to offer.
As soon as you think things couldn’t get
better the band blast into the EP title track
‘Medicate The Night’ which is a big
powerful offering which is crammed full of solid
instrumental work which comes at you at such a
speed and thud you can’t help but head bang
along to the big groovy sounds gracing the airwaves.
The EP takes a step back for the slow paced closer
‘Bless Your Soul’ and it is an interesting
offering which shows a totally different side
to Milestone from the rest of the EP and adds
a slight bit of variety to a pretty much all out
hard hitting EP as the song builds up over time
for a solid finish.
‘Medicate The Night’ is due for release
on the 13th May and I really can’t recommend
the EP enough, considering these guys have been
together for just over a year their EP comes across
sounding like a band who have been doing this
all their lives, seriously check Milestone out
and help put them on the road to success which
they deserve.
4.5/5
