After 28 Years, Miltown Finally Release Debut “Tales Of Never Letting Go”

Miltown‘s debut full-length, Tales Of Never Letting Go, is finally being released on September 5.

Limited edition vinyl is available from Man Alive Creative (Pitch Black, Glacier Blue) and RevHQ (Tangerine), while lossless, high-quality downloads can be purchased on Bandcamp.

Featuring Jonah Jenkins (Only Living Witness), Brian McTernan (Be Well, Battery, Ashes), Matt Squire (Ashes), Jay Cannava, and Rob Dulaney, these sessions were recorded at the legendary Long View Farm Studios (Bad Brains, Quicksand, Killswitch Engage) in December ’97 and January ’98. The band broke up before the songs were mixed and the master tapes have sat in Southern California warehouses ever since.

In 2024, Man Alive Records achieved an exclusive license to release the recordings after almost 30 years. The sessions were then mixed by guitarist McTernan (Turnstile, Thrice), and its packaging designed by Tom Bejgrowicz (Beastie Boys, Johnny Cash, Snapcase). The album was mastered by Nick Townsend (The Hold Steady, Nails, Dr. Dre) and features 13 songs, 10 of which debut here and three that appeared on the band’s debut 7″ for Hydra Head Records in ’97.

Pre-sale begins August 15 here.

Brian McTernan and Matt Squire from Ashes form Miltown with Jonah Jenkins from Only Living Witness on vocals. They release an acclaimed 7″ on Hydra Head Records in 1997, quickly sign to Giant/Warner Bros., record 13 songs at Long View Ranch studio (Bad Brains, Quicksand), and break up before the songs are mixed. In 2024, Man Alive Records secures the rights to release the recordings. Brian mixes the album at Salad Days Studio between sessions with Angel Du$t and End It. 28 years later, the album is seeing the light of day. Tales of Never Letting Go is as fresh and relevant in 2025 as it would have been in 1998.
