BIOGRAPHY

Milk White Throat are an alternative progressive rock band from Brighton, UK.
The three-piece consists of Tom (guitars), Guillaume (drums), and Brian (bass/vocals), and draws influences from a wide range of artists and styles. Comparisons have been drawn between bands such as Deftones, Thrice and the band members are quite content with blurring the lines between a number of genres.

Like most aspiring musicians, the band met through the local live music scene in Brighton, playing shows together whilst studying music and performing in different groups in the late 2000s.

The name Milk White Throat, taken from a line in the Nick Cave song, ‘Black Hair’, was settled upon in 2010 and prefaced the release of the group’s successful self titled EP.
As keen DIYers, the self produced album ‘Death of Beauty’ was written and assembled between the years of 2011 and 2014 during which time there were some lineup changes with the band reducing in size from six members to four.

In 2016, just 6 months after releasing the single and video ‘Under Duress’, the band deal with another lineup change, going from four members to the current iteration of the band.

Not to be deterred, the trio started working on new music with some changes to the band’s overall sound, resulting in the EP, ‘House of Fire’.
Recorded by Chris Edkins at Middle Farm studios and released in 2018, HoF showcased a more mature and focused version of the band. Where UD was aiming to be more accessible and catchy, HoF aimed to be a more absorbing and challenging listen with stronger songwriting and more solid production than the previous works had achieved before.

HoF was met with good reception and a number of positive reviews, the attention from which led to a string of successful shows around the south of England, including local support for Rosetta and a support slot for WHORES at London’s famous Underworld venue.

Following the release of HoF, the group set to work on another collection of songs.
Now in 2020, Milk White Throat have been gearing up to present their latest EP entitled ‘Hierarchy’ released 18th September 2020, preceeded by debut single and video ‘Sleepless’ released 28th August, and latest video 'Closed Eyes' on November 23rd.

Produced by Mark Roberts (Black Peaks, Toska, Broker, Physics House Band) across two of Brighton’s most popular studios and featuring three tracks each with a distinct theme and tonality, ‘Hierarchy’ and ‘Sleepless’ are another step forward for Milk White Throat.
Stay tuned for news on tour dates and releases coming soon.
