ThreeMileIsland was formed by ex-members of two Brighton bands - Self Destruct, and My Deaf Audio. After a few attempts at finding a suitable second guitarist, the executive decision was made to be a 4 piece.............. and the band you now know was born.
Mid 2003 - After the first few initial song structures were laid down, it soon became apparent that with the wildly varying musical ideals that each band member had, every song would be a painstaking journey through everyones musical territory until the final arrangement was acceptable to all involved. And this would take time. So TMI promptly decided to re-write everything they had already written.
This took the best part of a year....
These new song versions became imbued with an array of various styles and techniques drawn from everyone's different musical influences. This, in turn, has lead to a wide array of comparisons to a number of different bands such as Rage Against The Machine, 36 Crazyfists, Mudvayne, Deftones, and S.O.A.D.
Determined to test this new found musical direction TMI began to book a few low key gigs beginning with opening the 2004 Halloween Show at the King & Queen in Brighton. This did not turn out to be as 'low key' as TMI expected....
The evening was part of Radio One's Brighton Live event and with over 200 people in attendance the initial test run was to a larger audience than anticipated. This debut combined with the next few shows meant word of ThreeMileIsland's explosive stage presence spread - bringing back the people who'd once had the 'spirit of the mosh pit' but thought it had been outlawed when attending an unsigned band's show.
Word of mouth continues to spread - and with a 2005 EP in the bag and a new '06 demo as a taster of things to come - there are more live shows on the horizon and the world of ThreeMileIsland continues to grow...............
A few of the bands we've shared the stage with:
Will Haven, The Mirimar Disaster, Gutworm, Multi Purpose Chemical, The Abner, Inner Rage, Thoughts Collide, Deaf Havana, The Quiet Kill (ex-Million Dead), Zero Cipher, Lavondyss, In So Far, Forever Falling, 6AfraidOf7, Whisper In The Riot, Esoterica - just to name a few!
