Milburn released their follow-up to 2006's Well Well Well last week. Their first album was a luke warm success and the band have often been rejected as an Arctic Monkeys knock-off. It doesn't help that both bands are from Sheffield. Don't dismiss them because of this coincidence. Milburn can hold their own and have put together an album that will hopefully help them make a name for themselves and dispel those comparisons.
The new album, called These Are The Facts, contains power-pumping bass lines and sleek guitars. The first single is 'What Will You Do (When the Money Goes)' and it is, in my opinion, the strongest track on the album. Other songs that you should not miss include 'Lucy Lovemenot' and 'Count to 10.' And you will not be able to get 'Being a Rogue' out of your head, it is insanely catchy.
I have no information on a North American release date. I don't even think there was an official release of their first album on this side of the pond. Keep your fingers crossed or order it online. Globalization at its finest!
Milburn play shows across the UK this fall. Check their MySpace page for dates.
