The Wakefield, West Yorkshire based punk/rock band Milloy was formed in 2000 by guitarists Beefy & Bedi, bassist Ian, drummer Brigga and front-man Jim McManus. With their debut release in 2001 with the 6 Track EP “Autodrivel”, the band were soon creating a huge wave of interest within the UK underground scene.
Milloy re-shaped the mould in terms of the pop-punk bands that had been so plentiful in West Yorkshire and England in the 90’s and did this by injecting intelligent song writing that was fuelled with the angst of emo and delivered as if their lives depended on it. With the 2002 EP “Belt Up” confirming this, the band then focussed on their live performances and began to tour. In 2003 a split CD and 12” was released with their good friends “The Leif Ericsson” and together they toured the UK.
In mid 2004 Jim McManus left the band due to other priorities and commitments, the rest of the band decided to continue writing and search for a new singer. With an album half written and no-one up to the job on vocals in December after 4 months of searching for a replacement, Jim re-joined the band. The writing continued and by May 2005 the band were ready to record again. Their debut album “More Than a Machine” was released in July 2005.. The album showed yet another shift in Milloy’s ability to add further dimensions to their sound, this time in a much darker harder hitting vein.
In 2006 Milloy recorded 2 songs for a split release with “Billy No Mates” who featured the legendary Duncan Redmonds (Snuff / Guns N’Wankers) on vocals and drums. The 2 songs recorded “Le Coup de Grace” and “Damaged Goods” are possibly the 2 finest recorded examples of Milloy in full flight. The former a blistering devastating barrage of anger, and the latter an ironic ode demonstrating the full range of McManus.
In October 2007 the album “More Than a Machine” was re-packaged, re-mastered and re-released on “Household Name” records. In January 2008 their first BBC Radio 1 session was aired.
