New mp3 today from Denmark's The First Miles. These guys are one of those rare bands who I knew I would love from the very first note. Their songwriting is always heartfelt and earnest and it's especially apparent in singer/songwriter Jeppe Foldager's voice. He's got the gruffness that's appropriate for the Americana style of music they play, but he also allows a level of fragility and weariness for more emotional depth. Today's track comes from the band's forthcoming album "Aim for the heart, go!" which comes out on May 17 via the band's own label Little Bad Bear. I'll be sure to get some copies for mailorder. An interesting side-note: the record was mixed by acclaimed Danish producer Flemming Rasmussen who of I course I know from his work on all of the good, early Metallica records. Not that the two bands are anything alike, but hey - it's worth noting. Very recommended.

Denmark's very excellent band The First Miles have posted a few short sound clips from their debut album "Aim for the heart, go!" on their website: http://www.thefirstmiles.com/show.php?page=download&lang=en
The record was mixed and co-produced by Fleming Rasmussen (of old-school Metallica fame) and will be coming out soon via Little Bad Bear Records.

I added a new mp3 from a Danish demo band I've been really getting into recently called The First Miles. They're kinda country, kinda indierock, but all good as far as I'm concerned. Check 'em out and if you like what you hear, there's plenty more on their website. Right now the band is planning to enter the studio sometime around July/August and a record deal is pending.

Danish country/rock band The First Miles is planning on recording their debut album this summer. If it's anything like the demo tracks they have up on their website, I bet it's going to be great.
