				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/creepers-ian-miles-announces-solo-album-and-shares-first-single-truest-blue/">Ian Miles</a> is back off the bat of <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/creeper-reschedule-uk-tour/">Creeper’s</a> new EP, <em>American Noir. </em> Which was a follow-up from the band&#8217;s 2020 sophomore album <em>Sex, Death &amp; the Infinite Void. </em>Ian plays a crucial part in Creeper and has been gearing up for his own solo effort <em>Degeneration, Death, Decay</em> for a little while now since the single &#8220;Truest Blue&#8221;. He has been a part of Creeper since their first self-titled EP and has seen them through <em>The Callous Hearts</em> (2015), The Stranger (2016), and First album <em>Eternity, In Your Arms</em> (2017). Now working alone, as he has done before, he has embarked on one of the most personal things written by Ian.</p>
<p>After a summer of Adoring crowds at Slam Dunk and Reading &amp; Leeds, Creeper guitarist Ian Miles has been busy in anticipation of his first solo album. Showing his triumph after a difficult struggle with his mental health that led to him writing from a psychiatric ward. Creeper guitarist Ian Miles announced his album earlier in the year. His second single &#8220;Overwhelmed&#8221;, shares his haunting yet beautiful acoustic tone as Ian Miles explores the human psyche in a heartbreakingly honest way.  A poetically dark album on the same level as Have A Nice Life&#8217;s <em>Deathconsciousness </em>(2008) as it looks inside itself for the answers. You can get your copy of the album in beautiful pink and black splatter print <a href="https://bsmrocks.com/collections/ian-miles/products/ian-miles-degradation-death-decay">here</a>, be sure to grab your copy quickly before they sell out.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Off the back of <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/creeper-reschedule-uk-tour/">Creeper&#8217;s</a> new EP, <em>American Noir</em> followed the band 2020 album <em>Sex, Death &amp; the Infinite Void, </em> which sadly due to the pandemic was unable to be toured. But, now with Slam Dunk under their belt. Playing to an adoring crowd who were sad to see they missed Reading and Leeds. Now, after a difficult struggle with his mental health that led to him writing from a psychiatric ward. Creeper guitarist <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/creepers-ian-miles-reveals-that-he-was-working-on-the-album-whilst-being-in-psychiatry/">Ian Miles</a> announces solo album: <em>Degradation, Death, Decay. </em></p>
<p>As we speculate what we can expect from the album, the first single &#8220;Truest Blue&#8221; is available now. The song is exciting and displays what we can come to expect in the month leading up to its release. <em><span class="dquo">“</span>I’ve never really seen this as a solo project because I’ve been writing and recording acoustic music since I was about <span class="numbers">15</span>,” </em>He explained. Continuing on he had to say: &#8220;<em>I don’t want to be the focus of this record, it’s not about me so I have decided to hide me. I want people to solely focus on the art.”. </em></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">I present to you the first single from my debut album &#8216;Degradation Death Decay&#8217; a record that is now available for preorder along side tickets for my first ever acoustic show, all of which is available from the link below.</p>

<p><em>Degradation, Death, Decay</em> is due to be released on October 15th. With a release show in Ian&#8217;s hometown of Southampton on October 8th. The show will be at God&#8217;s House Tower. We are not sure what to expect from the gig, but with creeper&#8217;s reputation for performance theatrics, we can expect it to bleed into the energy of what Ian is putting into this new music. With the clear horror image, the stage is sure to be set for a night we will not forget.
