With their latest single War Games, Mildenhall, the rising alternative rock outfit from Fayetteville, channels their growing fire into a politically charged anthem that pulls no punches. Opening with a razor-edged guitar riff reminiscent of Neil Young’s Ohio, the track rushes forward into a tightly coiled eruption of defiance, railing against media distortion and the machinations of global powers.
Formed in 2020 and named after lead singer Tommy Benke’s English birthplace, Mildenhall has carved a loyal following with their genre-bending blend of emotional grit and melodic ambition. On War Games, the band sharpens that sound, layering fierce drum fills, a searing guitar solo, and emotionally raw vocals into a track that feels both urgent and unrelenting.
