Thank you and thanks for asking, at the moment everything goes really well. The Milestones lives an interesting time right now, all looks promising.

Lot of people have been saying that over the years, and it is kind of funny. However, we've never actually paid attention to the fact what we should sound like, or should we sound like this or that American band. We appreciate the tradition but we're trying to find out own path to walk, find our own sound, write good songs and enjoy the music

I'm attracted to this genre's authenticity, spirituality and honesty. No bullshit or gimmicks.
As a singer I think the greatest ones are Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles. Their way to interpret their emotions through music is unsurpassed, it's clean and always touches your the soul. The Milestones make music with emotion and so that things have a meaning.

We have succeeded with this album very well. Our journey continues and right now we're like hungry wild dogs locked in the cage waiting to get free to play great shows.

I believe that this continuum has occurred naturally. On a technical level these days thing are done very differently than 45 years ago. The Milestones love the old blues rock and soul and it shines through the band's own sound. It all starts, however, with the musicians and singers with their own personality, which is the starting point for your own sound creation. Yes, we want more, thus make good music and spread it to the world.

All Miles albums are equally authentic, and it is difficult to put them in order which is the best. Each album is from the heart, but I'd say Higher Mountain - Closer Sun is the strongest album to date. I'm sure that everyone who is in the recording band believes that the latest album is always the best.

We have developed our own style of writing song over the years. Writing always starts with a killer guitar riff and cool chordal pattern. Of course we change the chords and stuff if we feel like it needs to be changed. In fact, I get the vibes and feel for the song from guitar riffs and then come up with melodies and lyrics based on those feelings. We all know that the songs is finally finished and good to go when everyone in the band is happy with the results. Until that happens we keep changing even smallest details of the song. Covering Drivin' Wheel was our hats off to the great Foghat.

The process of creation of each song and the album is like a prolonged time in the maternity ward, and writing a great song is like morphine.

When we're composing I try to walk the paths that I'm not already familiar with, so often I find something new. I think a good song is a good song, regardless of genre, the music has to be free and fly. Who would not want to be unique? Well, all people are unique. But the end results are always judged by someone else than the artist himself.

Let's just say that with Higher Mountain - Closer Sun album we have started a preparations for the gigs, etc. have begun. We are wiser at the end of September. Lots of stuff boiling under the lid.

Music Business won't go away, it just changes form. The physical record sales has suffered the most, but I believe that it is also in fermentation. In the world everything has a habit of going in circles, and in the end everything comes back again after a while. Even though musical styles stay the same they always develop a little bit.

The Milestones is not against progress, on the contrary, we ourselves also want to keep moving, we have our own values and respect for the old and genuine way to do thing. Music is the most important thing. But hey, let all flowers bloom.

Thank you! Love one another and hold onto your dream…with your eyes open!
