From Colne and Lancaster, the Milltown Brothers first burst onto the indie scene in 1989 with the ‘Coming From The Mill EP’ getting high praise in NME.
Second indie single ‘Which Way Should I Jump’ started a bidding war between the majors.

Signing to A&M worldwide in 1990, WWSIJ was re-recorded & broke into the UK charts at Number 38. America liked it & put it to Number 10 in the Billboard US Rock Chart.

The album – Slinky – was a revelation and pushed the boundaries for their peers. Defying the critics who had incorrectly labelled them as baggy the MBs delivered an absolute classic album of catchy, punchy songs, perfectly paced & well-balanced.
The album received a maximum 5 Stars in Q Magazine.
