Milburn

Milburn emerged from the vibrant South Yorkshire music scene in the early 2000s. Formed in Sheffield, the band consisted of Joe Carnall (lead vocals and bass), Louis Carnall (vocals and rhythm guitar), Tom Rowley (lead guitar), and Joe Green (drums). They quickly gained a reputation for high-energy performances and melodic songwriting that captured the spirit of the UK indie rock explosion.

The band's rise began in 2002 when they sold out the legendary Boardwalk venue in Sheffield twice. Their early development was bolstered by a residency at Red Tape Studios, where they were selected from dozens of local acts to participate in a professional development program. This experience led to high-profile support slots for bands like Laika Dog and Cosmic Rough Riders, as well as performances at prestigious venues including London’s The Garage and Liverpool’s Cavern Club.
