Milburn (Band)
Vorlage:Infobox bandMilburn are an indie band from Sheffield, UK who has been often compared to The Libertines.
Milburn started out at 14 playing small gigs in front of friends, practising at Greeny's (Joe Green's) house. In 2002 they sold The Boardwalk out 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 She Looks Good On The Dancefloor' single reached number one in the UK charts. 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 2005. Their debut single for the label, 'Send In the Boys', reached 22 in the UK charts in April 2006, and at the time of writing the band are working on their as yet unnamed debut album.
