Big Heart For Music [TBM]
\”Everything I Wanted,\” from Militia\’s latest CD
Central Queenslands’ yet another successful band with a big heart for music.
CENTRAL Queensland’s latest talent, Militia, have recently released their CD along with a jam packed tour filled with performances along the eastern sea-board.
After recording for the last eight months, Militia’s lead singer Penny feels the band has finally got the CD right.
“We have been recording and re – recording our new CD, just playing around with the sounds a lot, getting it right.
As Militia follows in the successful foot steps of Tooheys Extra Dry Uncharted Competition nominees, Ellington, Militia’s lead singer Penny believes Central Queensland has produced such talent due to the tight knit music community in the area.
“Here in Central Queensland, we sort of help each other out a lot. We have a big heart for our music. But in saying that it is a big industry, we are all just fighting to get heard.
For years, Penny has always been interested in music, having written some of his own songs and played in cover bands throughout high school. He helped form Militia during the bands high school years. In 2007, the band began to really focus on their music.
“We became fully serious into writing and getting shows for our originals in 2007. Our first show was on New Years Eve in Rockhampton,” Penny says.
From there the band has played several shows and recently announced their tour.
Militia acquired its name from its old base player, who found it in the dictionary.
“It’s an army created by the public fighting for there own cause, we want to eventually, make a difference somehow,” Penny explains.
With their bright future ahead of them these boys are remaining themselves and just looking forward to the journey.
“We are just keen for people to like what we are playing and maybe come share some adventures with us.”
