Tip of The Week: Millions Like Us - Put Your Shoes On
Post categories: Tip of the Week

Millions Like Us are a D&B/dubstep trio from Brighton. The tag 'dubstep trio' might have had people scratching their heads a couple years back, but after the explosive success of Magnetic Man, dubstep trios have become almost as mainstream as talent-contest-manufactured-well-oiled-boy bands.
So can Tom, Ian, and Chris of Millions Like Us follow in the footsteps of Skream, Benga and Artwork? Obviously they've got a lonnnnnng way to go, but it's not a bad start, getting one of your first tracks on the Radio 1 playlist!
Which reminds me, did anyone catch Skream and Benga's new show on Radio 1? They've joined the infamous In New Music We Trust roster, on rotation once every four weeks. It pleased me to read "Skream and Benga on Radio 1 tonight...Worth the licence fee alone" on one of my mate's status updates. Perhaps now he'll stop venting his anger at me and the BBC because West Ham are never the main game on Match of The Day. Well, every four weeks at least. Anyway, decide for yourself, Tune in Thursday 10 Feb for their next show on Radio 1.
The three members of Millions Like Us all come from a live music background, but decided to ditch the instruments for the studio in an attempt to create "captivating melodies with heavy dance floor bass lines". I'd say our Tip of the Week track - Put Your Shoes On - does a pretty decent job of that, and definitely won't sound too out of place alongside the likes of Katy B, Chase & Status, Magnetic Man and Nero, on the ever expanding list of bass heavy Radio 1 playlist artists.
