About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorWith members spanning from Texas to Massachusetts, you know something must be going right to keep this geographically challenged band together for 4 years. And when you hear the music of Miles Apart, you realize why they continue.
They have performed up and down the east coast, converging on a number of cities and playing strings of shows with little-to-no practice, never missing a beat. Since the group's formation in 2004, their energetic live shows have been gaining popularity and momentum. They understand the importance of building their sound on good songs.
The five artists that make up Miles Apart were drawn together by a love of creating original music that makes you feel. With their latest release "Strangely Alive", the band has taken a different approach to their craft, producing a batch of darker songs with convicting lyrics, intricate harmonies, and arrangements that range from the soothing to the unsettling. The result is a five song EP that can make you laugh, cry, remember, and forgive in the span of about 20 minutes.
