If you’re a musician who is willing to put in enough work, you will be able to grow continually and notice even better performances from yourself. But you’ll never be able to sound like you did on your debut. That’s impossible. With that in mind, you can either treasure your effort with all its faults. Or, as most people do, you can just focus on the faults.
Rock music has a lot of things going for it. However, primarily it lives on the engine oil of excitement. A lot of things can be faked, and rock stars make for good actors on stage. But genuine enthusiasm, real fire burning in the belly of artists, is something very hard to counterfeit.
Milk St.’s Baseball is the band’s debut single, and it sounds like it, all loose and excited. You can only capture this feeling and the sound that represents it once, if you’re lucky. The grunge-influenced group managed just that. The fact that little counterproductive thought seems to have been given to the lyrics or instrumentation just adds to the charm. After all, even The Ramones were once true innovators on their debut before needing to be forced to their own formula for the rest of their careers. Milk St. are at the stage where they are inventing themselves. - Alternative Music Blog

Bio
Northeast emo from the Pine Tree State.
While the foundations of the band date back to 2018, originally under the name Spaced, Milk St. officially launched in 2022 with the release of their debut album Spaced - an ode to their first name. Composed of founding vocalist and guitarist Jonah Wakefield, bassist Gabe Chambers, and drummer Harry Burns, Mill St. quickly followed up their debut effort with two singles - “I’m Sorry That I Left You (On New Years Day)” and “Just Lust” - that have been very well-received to date.
With the recent addition of Harry Burns to the band as a full-time member, Milk St. were motivated to get back into the studio, where they recorded 9+ demos in the span of just two weeks! One of these demos would form the foundation for “China Town” and the remainder of the singles to be included on their upcoming EP Vermont. With plenty more music in the tank to be mixed and mastered, this is just the beginning for Milk St.
