Album Reviews
More Than A Machine
8.0
Meet Brigga, Ian, Beefy, Jim and Bedi… a couple of UK lads that have been known collectively as Milloy since 1999. They already released “More Than A Machine” back in 2006 but I doubt anyone other than their friends and families knew about it. Which as it turns out is a terrible shame but now it very deservedly got a second shot at world domination thanks to Householdname Records.
You just have to listen once to songs like “Even Knievel” or Blackjack”, then think of Hot Water Music before it dawns on you that this might very well be the band that No Idea forgot to put on their roster. And even though the album has been remastered, things still sound as gritty as your average stretch of asphalt. All of the songs are powerful, melodic, passionate and it all sounds great!
Expect an album with all new songs to hit stores later this year and judging from bonus track “Le Coup De Grace” which was recorded a year after the rest of the album, it’s gonna be a winner!

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
