White Miles was a rock duo originating from Austria, established in 2011 by vocalist and guitarist Medina Rekic alongside drummer and vocalist Hansjörg Loferer. Their musical approach, often characterized as "dirty pole dancer stoner blues rock," fuses elements of blues rock with stoner rock.
History
Although both artists hail from Tyrol, Austria, the band attributes its origins to Antananarivo, Madagascar. The pair first crossed paths in 2005 and officially formed the group six years afterward. Following initial achievements marked by four live video releases, they committed fully to their music careers, leaving behind their previous employment. In 2014, White Miles embarked on European and UK tours, supporting acts such as Truckfighters and Courtney Love. They also collaborated with Munich's Colour Haze and various Austrian bands. Their inaugural studio album, job: genius, diagnose: madness, was issued on CD and vinyl through LLRR in 2014.
In late 2015, White Miles joined Eagles of Death Metal as support during their European tour. They narrowly avoided the tragic November 2015 attacks at Paris's Bataclan theatre, where 89 attendees lost their lives during the opening act's performance. In response to this event, the duo canceled the rest of their tour dates but resumed live shows in Innsbruck by December of the same year.
Their sophomore album, The Duel, was released on April 1, 2016, available on both CD and vinyl formats. In April 2017, Medina Rekic left the band to focus on solo endeavors, which led to the group's dissolution.
