Biography
Sheffield based rock four piece, The Little Million released their dynamic debut single ‘You and Me Against the Universe’ on March 15th, a blaze of meteoric thrash pop that feels like being caught in the middle of a turbo-speed game of Asteroid, blasting away at huge, hurtling chunks of space rock. Fittingly, since it’s about going out with the girlfriend equivalent of the Star Wars project.
“It’s about having a girlfriend who’s… hard, stern,” laughs frontman Jim. “It’s a ridiculous idea for a song, if aliens were to come down that she’d be sent as the first line of defence.” The brilliantly lo-budget, alien-drenched official video by Scratch Films (concept by Jim) is equally evocative: “It’s done with a B-movie black and white Ed Wood kind of feel to it”.
The three founding members, Jimmy, Jez Dennis (Drums) and Ross Bannister (Bass, Backing Vocals) met at school and all played in various Yorkshire / Derbyshire based-bands before coming together with guitarist Andy Dickinson to form The Little Million. They built a loyal following by touring the UK and Japan and releasing an independent EP series, before recording their debut album.
The forthcoming long player ‘Satellite’ was produced by award winning rock producer Carl Bown (Fightstar, Laruso, Funeral For A Friend). An accomplished and impressive Big Rock record, the album boasts all the finesse of Biffy Clyro’s recent orchestral period with added QOTSA melodic crunch and My Chemical Romance pop edge. But it’s so much more than even that. ‘Satellite’ is an incredible debut. A rock album to anticipate in 2010 for sure.
‘You and Me Against the Universe’ is available on digital download via Seraphina Records/Autonomy now!
