Milburn are an indie band from Sheffield, England.
Milburn started out at 14 playing small gigs in front of friends, practising at Greeny's (drummer Joe Green's) house. In 2002 they sold out the The Boardwalk twice and played at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, The Garage in London and Leadmill in Sheffield, while supporting Tony Wright's band Laika Dog and Cosmic Rough Riders.
The band's profile was raised immensely by several gigs with friends and contemporaries Arctic Monkeys, including a support slot with the Arctics at the time their "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" reached number one in the UK Singles Chart. NME also took interest, including them under the banner of New Yorkshire.
After releasing two limited singles, "Lipstick Lickin" and "Showroom", on their own label Free Construction, Milburn signed to Mercury Records in 2006. Their debut single for the label, "Send In the Boys", reached #22 in the UK Singles Chart in April 2006, and their debut album, Well Well Well, released on the 9th October 2006 on Mercury Records reached #32 in the UK Albums Chart. Also in April 2006, they were interviewed by Simon Amstell from T4's Popworld and revealed that the origin of their name was a bet with a friend whose surname was Milburn.
Second Album
Milburn are currently working on their 2nd album, which is expected to be released around July 2007.
