Here’s what we already know about Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson: Alright, alright, alright! So he’s got a bunch of names… enough with all the name jokes, already. And yeah, he did some drugs once. Here’s what you need to know about MBAR: First and most importantly, he rocks. Secondly and arguably of equal urgency, he’s playing all over New York before hitting the road with TV on the Radio this summer.

I first saw Miles a few weeks back when he opened for fellow Brooklynites, White Rabbits, at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. As I walked past the merch-table, I caught a glimpse of white cotton tees that read MILES BENJAMIN ANTHONY ROBINSON IS DEAD in black caps. “Oh, so morbid, so cool,” I grimaced. My shoes were giving me blisters, so I decided to jet the few blocks home and back in time to catch WR, clad in different shoes. I was halfway to the doors when an old friend stopped me and told me about “this awesome kid, Miles” who I apparently had to see. So I stayed.

Within the second song of his set, Miles played so hard he broke every string on his guitar. The damage left his hands bloody, but couldn’t wipe the crazed smile off of his face. “He must be wasted,” I thought. And while that was probably true, it soon became very clear that Miles’ smiles were very, very intentional as he wailed telling tunes of addiction, death and his own funeral. Unmistakably dark humored, earnest, and adored by an audience of friends and admirers who heckled him to play their favorite songs of his, Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson live was worth walking home with blistered toes. – CMJ
