Alternative-Rock band with a distinctive classic-rock edge. The band is currently recording the second album, and with the exception of an appearance in May's Darwen Live 2017, will return to gigging later in 2017. The last single IN MOTION was released 6th July 2015, and was featured on the BBC Introducing Mixtape (6 Music), plus also played on The Tom Robinson show (6 Music); It was the third track from the debut album UNDER EVERY SKY to feature on the mixtape:- IN MOTION (Jun 2015) - www.freshonthenet.co.uk/2015/06/mixtape20150629 WAY TO FALL (Jan 2015) - www.freshonthenet.co.uk/2015/01/mixtape20150126 CARIBESQUE (Jun 2014) - www.freshonthenet.co.uk/2014/06/mixtape20140630 The first single CARIBESQUE - released September 2014 - was described on the BBC Introducing Mixtape as “a psychedelic slice of existentialist angst” that combined the “introspective anxiety of Radiohead with the seismic swagger of Oasis”. The debut album UNDER EVERY SKY - released November 2014 - has been well received by magazines such as Artrocker, Buzzin Music, and Louder Than War: “India Mill seem to have avoided modern clichés like the plague. Resisting the urge to overuse certain production techniques and trademarks typically attributed to the current era, the band retains traditional values within their music. Under Every Sky reflects the vast eclectic mixture of classic rock influences the band knows well and loves; a solid yet melodic powerhouse of a record”. India Mill comprises singer and bassist Alistair Smith, with Dean Ingham on drums and percussion, Simon Nicholson on guitar, and Chris Coates on guitar and backing vocals. The band are gaining a reputation as one of the North West’s most exciting emerging live acts, with sell-out shows at The Borderline (London), Club Academy (Manchester), The Castle (Manchester), and The Deaf Institute (Manchester), underpinned by strong support in and around Blackburn, Preston, Stockport, Lancaster, and of course their hometown of Darwen. ALBUM REVIEW - Under Every Sky Louder Than War: www.louderthanwar.com/india-mill-under-every-sky-album-review "melodic powerhouse of a record" SINGLE REVIEW - Morning Song The Vinyl District: http://www.thevinyldistrict.com/uk/2015/01/single-girl-india-mill-morning-song "has an immediacy to it that had us hooked from the first bar of reverb soaked drums and guitar. Conjuring images of the repetitive daily grind, but soaked in Americana."
