About
Milestones is a pop punk band hailing from Manchester, UK, known for their energetic blend of pop punk, neon pop punk, and Warrington indie. The group consists of Matt Clarke (vocals), Andrew Procter (guitar, vocals), Mark Threlfall (bass), and Eden Leviston (guitar). Their music is characterized by stadium-sized hooks and a polished alternative sound, drawing inspiration from both the punk spirit and contemporary pop melodies. Milestones gained traction with their debut full-length album Red Lights and have toured with notable acts such as Mayday Parade and Simple Plan.
How to Sound Like Milestones
Milestones' sound is vibrant and punchy, with an emphasis on melodic, driving guitar riffs and upbeat, anthemic choruses. To emulate their style, focus on achieving a clean yet powerful guitar tone, often layered with crisp distortion and bright modulation effects. The use of dynamic, tight drumming complements the energetic bass lines, creating a rhythmic foundation that propels their songs forward. Vocals are typically clear and soaring, with harmonies that enhance the emotive quality of their lyrics. In the studio, polished production techniques are employed to balance the raw energy of punk with the accessibility of pop, making the strategic use of compression and EQ crucial for capturing the band’s polished yet edgy sound.
