Milburn – ‘Take Me Home’

After ten years hiatus, Milburn recently reformed due to overwhelming popular demand. As a result, the band have sold out four massive anniversary shows in their hometown with a combined capacity of 10,000 tickets sold in under 5 minutes and a further 11,000 tickets for a sold out UK tour. They have also announced a 12,000 capacity hometown show on 2nd June 2017 at Don Valley Bowl with support from Reverend & The Makers and Cabbage.

So what’s in the water? could it have something to do with with that post-brexit restless spirit syndrome, one more or less significant other perhaps, must remember lose lips cost ships, rest assured it’s the last of ,y curiosity whu it has took a decade. Time to face facts Milburn have returned and with fair aplom, tackling present day relationships for some, guitars to the fore, indie-rock is richer to have Milburn come back off the bench, think most wanted them to mark their return earlier, but for one of those easier music fixes, ‘Take You Home’ ticks numerous boxes. 7.8/10
