= Arsenal Mills =

Arsenal Mills is a Rock/Blues band that was formed in the Summer of 2019 in Prince Edward Island Canada with a 1970's/1980's style. They are an upcoming four-piece band with their newly released single "Lovesick & Broke" on multiple streaming platforms with more music coming in the near future.

History
Original member Brad Milligan (Lead Vocals) started his musical career in his high school years with a band known as Eleventh Hour. Later on in this career, he formed a new band including some new members which were known as The Brad Milligan Band. The band then proceeded to compose original songs as well as perform many covers across venues in Canada. They even opened up for the Rock the Boat Music Festival in Tyne Valley, Prince Edward Island in 2018. After some time, The Brad Milligan Band came across a talented young guitar player named Griffen Arsenault at a local venue. Fortunately, Milligan was looking for a new lead guitar player for the band and contacted Arsenault. Arsenault quickly adapted to this new band he joined and the duo would write more and more originals as time went on. The two other band members in The Brad Milligan Band left to pursue other career interests, this left Arsenault and Milligan remaining. They decided to hire two new members and rename their band. This new name is Arsenal Mills which is a partial combination of Arsenault and Milligan's surname. This ultimately leads us into their formation in 2019 and their debut EP release Lovesick & Broke.

Debut Single
Arsenal Mills’ new release Lovesick & Broke was a great success for the band. The band recorded the single with The Sound Mill based in Charlottetown, PEI, and is a great start for their upcoming aspirations. The EP was released on July 31st of 2020 and has roughly 2,300 plays on Spotify as of November 2020. When discussing the origins behind Lovesick & Broke, Arsenal and Milligan were asked to discuss their new release. The song is about a friend who went through a breakup, leaving him having a spiral of drinking and depression. This was stated in an interview that was done with Canadian Beats.ca. From this interview, they also pointed out how it had a comical combination of dark lyrics with happy musical melodies. This song composition would be the combined effort of Arsenault and Milligan.
