Sometimes you luck out and stumble upon a band that is just perfect. I stumbled upon such a band yesterday and fell in love with them totally and completely. 93 Million Miles From The Sun blew me away with their shoegazed, textured, epically swirling guitars and I'll be honest, I have no idea if they named themselves after the Swervedriver song or not, but I'm going to go ahead and assume they did, because that just adds to the awesomeness of this band.

93 Million Miles From The Sun is a three man band from Doncaster, England (home to John Parr--the singer of "St. Elmo's Fire." No, really!) and they released their debut self-titled record in 2008 which featured the sonically astounding gem "Darkestar."




In December 2010 they released the All You've Found EP featuring the epic "Waiting There" which you should take a listen to below.



Last fall 93 Million Miles From The Sun dropped their second full length album Northern Sky, which yielded the blissfully fantastic song, "Take Me Away."

"Take Me Away"



By the way, you can purchase Northern Sky via Facebook or right here.

Last month 93 Million Miles From The Sun released a 2-song ep featuring a cover of the old Primitives' song "Empathise" and also "Theme From Sparta." Listen to a stream of both tracks below.
