Modern Age Music Song of the Day: Spilt Milk – ‘Moving Target’

Spilt Milk are the young North East-based four-piece making hard-hitting indie rock.
The Gateshead quartet are made up of triplets Oscar, Isaac and Theo, who started off their musical careers busking on Newcastle’s Northumberland Street, with friend Thomas now on bass. Their music is reflective of young North East culture, with relatable lyrics and a focus on teenage culture and wasted youth.
Spilt Milk have dropped new single ‘Moving Target’ today. It’s an anthemic piece of indie, with meticulously crafted guitars creating an atmospheric feel. The lead vocal is impressively delivered, lyrically poignant, and full to the brim with hooks.
After the UK lockdown put paid to plans to tour the new single through May, the band have taken to performing twice weekly on their Facebook page.
“The lockdown is a strange situation, as it is for many people, but we’re lucky being brothers, living in the same house and being in a band means we can carry on writing and performing together”, says Oscar Nolan the bands lead singer. “The Facebook Live performances are really helping to lift our spirits and give us a focus’.‘
His brother Theo, who plays the drums, is enjoying the new experience, “It’s been great to adapt what we do, playing to so many online from our living room and being able to see people’s live reaction in the comments section.”
