Paul Mullen, singer with yourcodenameis:milo (pictured), has joined Welsh pop-rockers The Automatic.

Reports the website of Rock Sound magazine:

"Rock Sound can exclusively reveal that Paul Mullen (former vocalist with yourcodenameis:milo) has joined to The Automatic - replacing Alex Pennie who recently left the group.

"Since Mullen's arrival in The Automatic camp they have written several new songs for the next album, which is scheduled for release early next year."

So there. Milo announced their indefinite hiatus in August; this latest news would suggest that there is no way back for the V2-signed prog-rockers.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Me: *is happy he never liked yourcodnameis:milo*


what? why?

are you being ironic again?


because if he had liked ycni:m

he'd probably be upset. as it is, he gets to appreciate the humour of it all.


oh lol

it's like you're his dad.


and its like you follow his posts on DiS

making nonsensical attempts to make what he's written seem stupid when its not at all


a lot of what he writes is unfiltered bullshit.

if you're willing to see through that, then fair enough.


Hiya!

I just saw this. It's also funny.


wtf.

this has to be bullshit.


^

what he said.


"he"

I believe Sarkyfox is a lady, unless something has changd recently


this..

has somewhat made my day!


Not the 8/10

album review then!


Well that's

cack.


one of the greatest things ive ever heard

both bands were cack, but at least this is funny


Could you loose your credibility any quicker

sell out...

what a toll


This was rumoured ages ago

and I cried bullshit - but I guess with a kid, and bills to pay...that's life.

I really facking hope that him being offered this job had no effect on Milo, that would be bloody low. I know that Pennie guy only left afterward, but he's been spouting it for years.

Urg.


oh, my god.

what? this is insane.


best news ever.

Hahahaha


Speaking of YCNI:Milo

Justin Lockey has formed a group called The British Expeditionary Force. Check it out. Its not bad (although not a patch on Milo)

As for this news I don't know weather to laugh or cry.
MILO PLEASE REFORM!!!!!! :'(


..

the british expeditionary force mini album is really ace.


That is

seriously shit news.


i duno..

wether to be happy or sad

ycni:milo were my favorite band, ive never liked the automatic

but paul is a legend and im glad he's back..hopefully he wont try to pull off the high squeeling and will actualy sing!

x


i knew this three weeks ago

but i forgot to say


Oh dear God

:|


shit!

worst news ever!


The song they did together

for Print is dead was pretty good, it could work.


Wow!

Pennie and Paul Mullen even look alike!


Yep...

they've replaced one short arse with another. It'll be Kelly Jones next.


hahaha

ooh errr


hehe

told you.


how did they offer him the job?

er... do you fancy hopping around the stage like a gimp while mirroring everything the singer does in a squeaky voice like beaker from the muppets? Oh, there may be a keyboard to hit occasionally...

do I get to look at miquita oliver's tits?

possibly not, we're one hit wonders and T4 won't let us stand round their doorway anymore. we do have this curly-wurly...?

oh alright then...


they all knocked about in Newcastle together

when they were recording for Print Is Dead. He's out of a job. They need a new singer.

WOW. It's almost like AUDIOSLAVE isnt it.


The mini album they did,

was excellent. This is a terrible shame. Goes without saying the automatic are utter gash but I have no idea why Mullen would leave for this.


Dear me...


why would someone

from a talented band in the toon join a bunch of spastics from wales? Very bizarre.


i had no idea Pennis left

I might give the band another chance then!


bf

I! MIGHT! GIVE! THE! BAND! ANOTHER! CHANCE! THEN!

Sorry....


SHOCKER


What's the opposite of a supergroup?

It's possibly less like Audioslave and more like when those chaps from The Wonderstuff who weren't Miles Hunt teamed up with the guy from mid 90s also rans Eat and formed the short lived Weknowwhereyoulive.........only even fewer people are bothered!


who's

going to do the shouting?
Have they checked he can shout?
Would have been a great audition

"Right I'll say stuff and then you shout it back"

"I'LL SHOUT IT BACK"


BEF..

is great stuff. Erased Tapes is a stunning little indie lable.


british expeditionary force

british sea power

how completely irrelevant that was..


Lol

You what? What next?

Simon Neill to join The Hoosiers?


if thi has anything to do with ycni:m splitting

then i am going to personally hunt down mr mullen. this is quite sad


amazing...

i hate the automatic with a passion, but i really liked yci:m, and this will now make me take the automatic's new material seriously...so i guess good on them, pennie was the most annoying thing about the automatic so maybe they're about to make the most unlikely u-turn in recent times and turn out to be ok afterall
