  • Bio

    .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... Helsinki -based band The Milestones has released it's robust third album "Devil In Me"..... ...."Now we've got the feeling that we've finally found something magical; our own sound without forgetting where we come from. These new songs are a little hats-off to all the legendary bands that have influenced us and the music we have planted our roots in. The album is be like a big bang, like a real earthquake!".... .... Bold, soulful and groovy are the words to describe The Milestones whose 70's influences include pioneers such as The Allman Bros, AC/DC, Free and Bad Company. .... ...."It was great to work on new songs after hearing all these great bands and getting influenced by them once again. We've tried to keep our music as simple as possible but really spontaneous as well. We've been jamming a bit especially at the live shows. It makes the whole atmosphere even dangerous. It gives us a chance to come up with a couple of surprises every now and again and it keeps the whole thing fresh.".... .... The rootsy sound of The Milestones is built on Olavi Tikka's recognizable voice, in which you can hear hints of David Coverdale and Paul Rogers. Together with two perfectly interacting guitars and a ballsy rhythm section the band can do no wrong. .... The Milestones has played around 200 shows in Finland and Europe and done supporting for acts such as Whitesnake, Deep Purple, Black Stone Cherry, Gary Moore and D.A.D. ...... .."There's a bigger engine under the hood these days. We're not in a rush but sometimes it just feels so good to push the pedal to the floor and go as fast as you can!".... ................ .................. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. ..

  • Sounds Like

    ”Okey, so Helsinki ain't exactly Black Oak, but they still sell Jack Daniel's and Skynyrds records up there, you know. And our Finnish friends The Milestones have obviously ingested plenty of both. Like a less bleary-eyed Black Crowes, they're soulful and groovy, and their songs make walking barefoot all summer seem like a really good idea.” (Classic Rock Magazine issue 121) .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
