Nick Noble - Nuclear Bunker Discs.

Guardian of The Bunker

93MillionMilesFromTheSun are:- Nick Noble (guitars/effects/vocals) & Rob Hogg (bass/effects). This has always been the core of the band & is supplemented by drums & extra guitars when playing live. The album 93 Million Miles From The Sun is available direct from Parallax Sounds. Combining layered, textured guitars over an array of effects and choral vocals, 93 Million Miles From The Sun is one of those records that, while evoking memories of the likes of Slowdive in their heyday or even a more sonically enhanced Maps, stands tall and proud in its own right due to the dazzling range of variation across its thirteen tracks. Another key element of 93MillionMilesFromTheSun's extensive make-up is that not only do they express a desire to take their sonic experimentation one step further, but they also never lose sight of the fact that beneath all the reverb and delay lay actual songs that would sound just as affecting stripped down. They get their name from a Swervedriver b-side. They both create amazing shoegazing rock and they sound like a shoegazing Mogwai with bits of early Verve, My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Loop, Slowdive, ect... 93MillionMilesFromTheSun are popular worldwide and are now one of the best leading shoegaze bands out there becoming big favourites with people especially in the shoegazing scene. 93MillionMilesFromTheSun have achieved number 15 in John Peel's Festive Top 50 of 2010, they have released an exclusive track on the "Secret Garden - The New Wave of Shoegaze (Nugaze)" compilation album along with other artists like Ulrich Schnauss and The Fauns. Recently completed is the new album Northern Sky, which is due out this summer & the band are currently preparing to play the new songs live. Nick Noble gave us a little of his time in between rehearsing & soundproofing a new studio to pick his 5. Under duress I might add - we had to force him to choose just 5: "There's too many albums i couldn't live without. I've only scratched the surface with this..."

Just as Nick had difficulty choosing his five, so did we in choosing our two 93MillionMilesFromTheSun tracks, but here goes:

(1) The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses - I've always loved this album from the first day i heard it. The album that i played constantly when i got it. Before that i'd been into Hip Hop and thats all i really listened to apart from stuff like the Beatles etc. It still sounds amazing today and every track is fantastic. The overall sound of it as well. It doesn't get much better and i still listen to it all the time.

2. Ride - Nowhere - Another amazing album from start to finish. All amazing tracks and so melodic. Paralysed is just perfect. My favourite Ride tune is Unfamiliar. Great live band as well

3. The Boo Radleys - Learning To Walk - Not strictly an album, more of a compilation but i love it all. Ichabod & i blew me away when i heard it. Just the noise and melody and great songs. Kaleidoscope off this just doesn't get any better. This is also how to cover tracks. I think Alone Again Or was a peel session and i loved the Love track but the Boo's just ripped through it and made it there own. They may slightly influence us a bit especially live with the noise. Great guys as well as i was lucky enough to get to know them quite well

4. MBV - Loveless - Predictable i suppose but the album is so influential i couldn't be without it. Soon is probably the greatest end to an album ever.

5. Exit Calm - Exit Calm - My favourite album of last year. Again every track is a winner. The guitars are just mind blowing and they are probably the best live band i've seen for a long time. Top guys as well as we've been lucky enough to play a few gigs with them over the last few years. They're from South Yorkshire as well...
