The Milk Carton Kids

The music industry has seen a huge tsunami of young and budding artists who have simply mesmerized the beat lovers with their talent. One such beaming name is that of The Milk Carton Kids, an indie folk band from California. Consisting of only two members, the group was conceived in 2011. Their approach to music is claimed by NPR as “gorgeous and contemporary folk” that gives an appealing air to the intended audience with much following of course. In a pithy time the band has successfully brought three albums in the market for its beat lovers which were received with a positive air. Retrospect, Prologue and The Ash & Clay brought their name in the limelight and made indie folk lovers a huge fan of The Milk Carton Kids. The two significant features of the band make them unique from their contemporaries.  The idea of using vintage guitars and the releasing of their albums for free thus bringing a new tradition in music.

The failure is a sign of upcoming success but very few understand this myth. Same happened with Ryan and Pattengale who were struggling as solo artists but both failed terribly. Ryan heard Pattengale in their shared hometown performing one evening and thought of approaching him as close connection was felt between both of them. They reached their professional crossroads and wanted to take a big leap. Retrospect was thus released in 2011 as both formed their band The Milk Carton Kids. Retrospect was a live album with much experiment that could be sensed.

Prologue the second album was released in July 2011 which happened to be their first studio album and also the first one released under the banner of the band’s name. The song There By Your Side from the album Prologue was termed as the Song of the Day at National Public Radio. Grammy awarded Sara Brailles who is a piano pop star acted as a key element in bringing fame to the band. Her twitter comment about the band triggered many to listen to The Milk Carton Kids which created a huge fan base. Retrospect and Prologue were offered on the official site of the band for free download and the two albums have been downloaded almost 60,000 times. Some of the notable names like About.com, Daytrotters and American Songwriter have included Prologue in their year-end lists.

The Milk Carton Kids were also the guest DJ at the folk channel The Village of the National Public Radio. In 2012 the duo toured with The Lumineers and The Crow Medicine Show thus visiting the cities like Richmond, Louisville, Cincinnati, Washington DC, Atlanta, New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Nashville. The fall of 2012 also happened to be a tour time while in November 2012 the band toured with Punch Brothers and gathered much following. The Ash and Clay the recent album hit he indie folk stage in March 2013 with a promise to come up to the expectations of the indie music lovers.
