I was pointed in the direction of ‘A Million Miles’ by the fabulous Tairrie B Murphy of legendary,’My Ruin’ and Im glad that I was. From the off, they are unique in everyway. From the groove laden riffs and breakdowns to the haunting melodic vocal style of enigmatic frontwoman, Mona.
This band have a punishing work ethic and will stop at nothing to make progress and they are now moving in the right circles. Listening to their EP and getting goosepimples listening to “Whats left behind” shows that this band are no flash in the pan. The vocal melodies nailed by Mona are astonishingly raw yet soothing. If I could put a similarity to a couple of bands, it would be Pantera-esque grooves crossed with a hint of Pearl Jam and a hint of a southern rock feel to it. The guitar solos’s are gimmick-free and there is no guitar wankery, just decent, honest fluid driven solo’s. The band are a tight-knit unit and pack a powerful punch.
The band call them selves stoner metal which I do agree with, but I would say it borders on the Groove Metal feel too. The EP is truly infectious and without doubt, you will find yourself nodding your head and playing air-guitar in no time. There is nothing else out there at the minute that can match what ‘A Million Miles’ are doing and for me that is an awesome selling point.
Im sick of soundalike/copycat bands and its about time that there was a fucking good genre leading band stepping up to the plate. A Million Miles are the band that do this,epically well!!
