Miltown was an alternative rock band from Boston.

Biography

The band was formed in 1995 by Jonah Jenkins (Only Living Witness, Milligram, Raw Radar War) and was signed by Larry Jacobson to Irving Azoff’s Giant Records, aka Revolution Records.

Miltown recorded several demo tapes on their own with guitarist/producer Brian McTernan and guitarist Matt Squire, releasing a CDEP (Hydra Head Records), two 7” vinyl records and one album for Revolution Records with producer Toby Wright (Alice in Chains, Jerry Cantrell, Korn) which was never released.

After protracted internal and record label disputes, the group subsequently split. Jenkins went on to provide vocals for Milligram and Raw Radar War.

Tales of Never Letting Go, unreleased album

Tales of Never Letting Go was recorded in 1998 and was supposed to be the debut album of Miltown but, due to record label conflicts and negative intra-band dynamics, the band split up before the release. Up to now the album has never been released, however, Jonah Jenkins said in some interviews[1] :

"Warner Brothers owns the album that was recorded at Longview Farm, but the songs all belong to the group. Because I ended up losing money at the end of Miltown (my band business bank account, which I had been keeping the band's tax money was emptied by Matt Squire)...I own the recordings of the demos. I will still release the demo recordings with the band, and share the profits after I recoup my pressing costs, but I am having them remixed by the awesome Glenn Smith."
