India Mill single ‘Morning Song’ out now!

"India Mill can stand tall amongst their peers as being a band who have something to say."
- Artrocker

India Mill have released their latest single, Morning Song,via Bold Venture Music/AWAL.

Morning Song, the second single taken from their debut album Under Every Sky, is a hymn to universal heartbreak with an epic guitar line reminiscent of U2 at their most potent played out with Bowie-esque vigour that channels both the drumbeat and drama of Hounds Of Love era Kate Bush.

You can stream the single for free via the band's SoundCloud page.


The band are from Darwen, a former mill town in Lancashire where any kind of music can find an ear, and any form of pretence will be shown its rear. On their previous single, Caribesque, Artrocker commented, “They’re not afraid to mix a little bit of politics into their songs and they sound all the better for it”. while Tom Robinson claimed the track, “Sounded effin’ terrific coming through the radio speakers,” on its second BBC 6 Music spin in just six days.

Al Smith (bass & vocals), Simon Nicholson (guitar), Chris Coates (guitar) and Dean Ingham (drums) take music seriously, taking their name from the biggest landmark and biggest mill in their town where the old economy has long since faded but the scars of industrial revolution still linger. Four friends who have known each other longer than they haven’t, India Mill are a band living the old-school dream, childhood friends making their way from nowhere to somewhere, passing comment en route, chronicling Britain's Big Society as it unravels at the seams. Their penchant for genre bending has ensured the band remains impossible to pigeonhole, and their mission to create a new take on alternative rock is fast becoming their own personal badge of honour.

They’ve already picked up support from the likes of Frank Skinner on Absolute Radio, Tom Robinson on BBC 6 Music, and Artrocker Magazine. Their debut album, Under Every Sky is set for release on 24th November.

Morning Song is out now via Bold Venture Music/AWAL and available to buy digitally via iTunes.
