Tony Mills (musician)

Tony Mills (born in 1962) is an English musician and the vocalist in the Norwegian hard rock band TNT.

Hailing from Birmingham, when he was 14 years old, he sang in his first band, the punk band The Rip-Offs. Later he sang in bands such as Overdrive, Orion and Enigma, and in 1983 he joined the band Shy. He recorded four albums with AOR band Shy, including the critically acclaimed "Excess All Areas" before he left in 1991, later joining another band, Siam, where he sang on two albums. In 2000 he reunited with Shy for two more albums.During this time he also recorded two solo albums, Cruiser and Freeway to the AfterlifeThere followed a short stint with The Sweet, as bassist and singer, but this did not work out, and he returned to Shy, only to move swiftly on, when in 2006 he was asked to join TNT. He was to replace their long-time vocalist Tony Harnell who had decided to leave the band for both personal and professional reasons. The following year Mills sang on TNT's new album, "The New Territory", which despite high sales, was poorly received by several rock magazines, who it seems were somewhat taken aback by the new material.The band has toured and gigged extensively throughout 2007

He has performed guest vocals work on the 2007 album by UK Band Crimes of Passion.He has numerous credits for, and is in regular demand for, provision of backing vocals,and other recent outputs include The Andersson-Mills Project, China Blue, and backing vocals for Norwegian Rock outfit Winterstrain, appearing on their debut album "Return to the Mirror", and the soon to be released "Shifting Sands"

His new solo album, due for release in April 2008, Vital Designs, will feature bass by Morty Black, guitars by Neil Hibbs, keyboards by Shy's keyboard player Joe Basketts and drums by Shy's drummer Bob Richards. Also appearing on the album will be TNT member Dag Stokke. He is also currently working with Ronni Le Tekro on a new TNT release.
