Milhaven are a 4-piece post-rock band from Bochum, Germany. According to the band’s biography, their title roots from the name of a German town with significance to their parents.

As the band Strawberry Alarm Clock began breaking up, many members moved to Germany where they met local band Kraftwerk. The two bands became close, and their children lived their childhoods together as good friends. With the intentions of a new musical path, the offspring of the two bands formed Milhaven, although their surnames remain unknown to the general public.

Beginning first with practice and then moving toward shows, the band received attention from Sven Swift, a experimental German producer, who lead the band to record their debut Bars Closing Down on the label 12rec., on February 4, 2005.
Having given their label positive attention, they were given new equipment and the use of a 10-track hard-drive recorder, with which they utilized to record their latest release, I.M. Wagner EP, in early 2006. The 4-track EP was put out on November 2, 2006 to generally positive acclaim.
