Milemarker
Conditional Love/recognition
Formed 1997 in Chapel Hill, NC, by Al Burian, Dave Laney and Ben Davis, MILEMARKER quickly gained recognition in the independent music scene for their explosive live shows and adventurous instrumentation. The band became known for its combination of post-hardcore punk with new wave electronics, and grew to include singer/synth player Roby Newton, as well as drummers Sean Husick and Noah Leger. In 2009, guitarist Dave Laney moved to Hamburg and bassist Al Burian moved to Berlin. A re-ignition of the band in Germany seemed inevitable and MILEMARKER returned to the stage in 2015 with Ezra Cale playing drums and Lena Kilkka on synthesizer and vox. The first recording released by this lineup is a two-song seven inch. "Conditional Love" is a robotic, hypnotic electronic rock anthem. "Recognition" explores the bands sensitive and optimistic side.
