City Miles were a Oi, streetpunk band from the UK. Their debut album Social Upheaval was a genre classic and earned them lots of praise and plenty of new fans when released back in 2019. Tragically the release was overshadowed by the untimely passing of their lead singer/drummer Marc 'Mates' Maitland. And so a brilliant band was no more.
To remind us how good they were comes this previously unreleased nostalgic look back at late night radio shows, home taping and the music that shaped our lives. It's called Songs Of The Truth and it is great.
A vision of walking around and imagining my Walkman headphones were actually giant speakers accompanying me forcing the world into dancing and performing their tasks to my music. If I had giant speakers up in the sky blasting my own music then everywhere I went people would have to listen to my music and the world would have a uniform emotion, a sort of interconnectedness. Like an unrelenting soundtrack to which everyone must acquiesce… These are my speakers in the sky.
