Who were Milburn?

Milburn

Milburn were a four-piece outfit from the city of Sheffield, Yorkshire, England. The band consisted of Joe Carnall (lead vocals/bass), Louis Carnall (vocals/rhythm guitar), Tom Rowley (lead guitar) and Joe Green (drummer).

They produced ear-grabbing riffs and essential Melodies, underpinned by the raw tones of the mod-punk era, which epitomises the youthfulness and abundant potential of the band. Milburn's sound has most recently been described as the aggressive riffs of the Jam, with a touch of ska mixed with the hooks and sound of modern contemporaries such as the Libertines and Razorlight.

Milburn eventually announced they would split on March 28, 2008, with the band playing their final gig at Sheffield's Carling Academy on May 24, 2008.

3 of the 4 members who were part of Milburn went on to try new things in music and created their own bands. Joe Green and Tom Rowley created The Backhanded Compliments while Joe Carnall created The Book Club. You can see videos below.

  • Please Come Back!! [50] even a small EP would be magnificent! and I would definitely pay for something like that. Sure, it is smart to abstain from releasing 'rushed records' in order to maintain reputation... But consider that records by Milburn are known for their matchless quality. We would love to see you guys back in business!! best wishes, lolje lolje Fri, 18 Nov 2011 15:30:51

  • Whilst AM are obviously outstanding and Alex a tremendous talent, their stuff increasingly sounds like Milburn (and more so the Backhanded Compliments stuff), so it's a tribute to the sound in a way. Whatever the case, saw Milburn many times and sadly very much missed (even if I am getting too old to be a mosher) howgoodaretwp Tue, 10 May 2011 14:04:07

Louis Carnall seems to have disappeared off the face of the planet, but it's most likely he got a job outside music.
