B.Miles formed in San Francisco in 2007. Their breakout single "Salt" from their 2010 debut album of the same name helped establish them, and songs like "Rude," "Nine Matches," and "Running" followed. The band's core lineup has included Blake Miles on vocals, Emily Rose on bass, Lucas Carter on guitar, and Daniel James on drums.
In 2012, the band faced a legal dispute over music rights. Blake Miles has also been open about personal struggles with addiction and mental health, which often surface in the lyrics. They released two more albums: 2014's "Echoes of the Abyss" and 2019's "Ashes to Beauty."
Their sound pulls from rock, pop, and electronic elements, and they've worked with artists like Bon Iver, Sia, and Coldplay. The music doesn't settle into one category, but tracks like "Shaking Hands" and "Salt" show a band comfortable weaving different textures together.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
