Formed in the fall of 2000 Mile 21 established itself as a seven piece punk/ska band with influences of reggae and hip hop ranging from the Mighty Mighty Bosstones to the Wu Tang Clan. After taking a hiatus from shows in 2003 Mile 21 returned with a new sound that incorporated catchy hornlines, melodic riffs and influencial lyrical patterns. In the past year alone Mile 21 has been the featured band at several festivals and shows in the NorthEast, playing at clubs and venues such as CBGB's, The Knitting Factory, The Empress Ballroon, The Middle East Club, The Webster Theater, and Harper's Ferry. Influenced by a uniquely wide variety of artists, bands and styles, Mile 21 maintains a fresh, self-owned sound. The list of those owed credit and notice are an extensive group from Bob Marley & the Wailers to the Bosstones, John Coltraine to Wu-Tang Clan, The Toasters to The Skatellites, and B.B. King to Steel Pulse. Each of these as well as many more have offered styles, sounds and inspiration for these 7 players to put every ounce of energy and heart into the success of Mile 21. After a few EPs and Demos Mile 21 has released a new 3-song Demo that truly captures their ska/roots/reggae styles. This new music expresses their desire to release socially conscious music while maintaining a very pop element that appeals to a wide range of people. Since their release of Nine Ivy Days in 2005 Mile 21 has opened for such acts as The Toasters, The Planet Smashers, Toots and the Maytals, Sean Paul, Badfish, and Morgan Heritage. Mile 21 released its first self-titled album under Megalith Records in 2007 and is currently finishing up an album with a projected release of February 2009.
