After announcing that they were going on "indefinite hiatus" in August of this year, there now seems to be no way back for yourcodenameis:milo after it was revealed this week that frontman Paul Mullen has joined The Automatic as a replacement for recently-departed keyboardist and general shouty man Alex Pennie.
As saddening as it is to see what appears to be the final nail driven into Milo's coffin, it might not be all bad. Admittedly, The Automatic are nowhere near as good as Milo were, but this was largely due to Pennie constantly squawking in the background while jumping around a lot and trying to look hard. With Milo, Mullen has already proved his songwriting and, crucially, singing ability, and if he can transfer that to The Automatic then there could be exciting times ahead for the Welshmen.
The two bands have already proved that they can work together on Print Is Dead. Now that Milo are dead too, let's hope that the new-look Automatic can recover from losing Pennie and give us something to smile about.
