HOT! HOT MILK

HOT MILK have today released their debut album "A CALL TO THE VOID" and a new single "OVER YOUR DEAD BODY".  

"A call to the void represents the dichotomy of life, the comedy and the tragedy of being a human alive on this floating rock. Two minds became one through this record.  We opened our chest 'n it’s time for you to devour it. Hot Milk is an emotion." says the band

LISTEN TO "OVER YOUR DEAD BODY" HERE - it is a perfect combination of honest lyrics underlined by a bass line that will blow your socks off. We cannot wait to hear this song live!

HOT MILK have been one of the hardest working bands we have ever had the pleasure of following. They have left nothing to chance and with their determination and discipline have landed not only well deserved fans, but supporters in the industry both behind the scenes but also on stage, where they have supported no other than Foo Fighters to touring with bands like Pale Waves and their own headline sold-out shows to over 50 million streams of the EPs alone.

The band recorded the album between Manchester, Los Angeles and Stockholm and Jim Shaw produced the majority of the record himself, again, a token to their drive and direction.

In French, the phrase, “J’appel du vide”, means the brain’s trick of spotting opportunities to die, that bridge which looks big enough, that building that looks high enough to jump off, but I see “A CALL TO THE VOID”, the English translation, not as a negative jolt, but a reminder that life is, indeed, finite.

Han has been very open about her emotions and her connection to music as a vent.

“Live is where I’m happiest, live is where it’s home,” says Han. “We wrote songs with the intention of people going off, making you feel good, opening the pit up, letting go, crying, getting on your mate’s shoulders.  It’s Church for us.”

THOUGHTS AND STUFF

It has been a while. Personal reasons. But also just really depleted of news. Then all came at once.

Bury Tomorrow- “Black Flame”!!!!! How did that happen? I told you ages ago that they are the best new metal band to look out for, but since hooking up with Sony they really have taken it up a step. Not a lie. Cannot wait to see them this month or in December, depending on when I can get there, how often I can get there, you get the picture.

Bury Tomorrow are of course touring with Cane Hill, who I thought were okay until they released their new album “Too Far Gone”……so epic. And them in combination with Bury Tomorrow at a show may make a headbanger or two happier than Larry.

And to top it all off, have you listened to “Royal Beggars” off the new Architects album “Holy Hell”? Where are they coming up with the lyrics and the tunes?

It cracks me up to read that Jordan Fish from BMTH says that there isn’t enough rock music out there to stream. In his recent interview with Mark Sutherland from Music Week, he was talking about how Bring Me the Horizon are one of the few bands who make an impact on streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music. Sure they have four million plus monthly listeners on Spotify and “Mantra” has become indeed a MANTRA on streaming services worldwide (it has sold over 50.000 copies so far), but to say that others are “generally bad” is really a bit rich, when Ricky Martin could always come back and have a say about how the “Livin’ la Vida Loca” was used in certain rock songs. Jordan Fish is a superior songwriter in his own right, no doubt, but there are rock bands out there who just don’t get the chance to be heard.

Saying that I am deeply grateful for Bring Me the Horizon to have introduced me to YONAKA who have been going for a while, but without their epic support slot for BMTH, I would have not listened to. Now that, my friends would have been a grave loss. They are a lot more rock than other bands with a female singer and they have an uncanny feeling of Siouxie of Siouxie and the Banshees, not a compliment given lightly.

Watch and listen, download, buy, stream. They are bubbciliciously yummy

No, there is music out there and I love it when bands are able to adapt to new styles and take inspiration from other genres and artists (see BMTH), but also While She Sleeps. Have you heard “Anti-Social”? They are such an epic band and if this twist doesn’t catapult them to where they should be, I would be more than disappointed.
