Yourcodenameis:milo are an English alternative rock/experimental/post-hardcore band from Washington, Tyne and Wear. Their mini album, All Roads to Fault, was released in 2004, followed in 2005 by the full-length album Ignoto, both on Fiction/Polydor Records. In 2006, the band left their Polydor contract and within a month signed a new record deal with V2 Records. In November 2006, the band released Print Is Dead Vol 1, a side project album featuring collaborations with other bands. Their second full-length album, They Came from the Sun, was released in 2007.

The band reformed in 2020 to perform a set of charity concerts in aid of The Cluny in Newcastle.[1]

Due to the pandemic, the scheduled gigs in 2020 were postponed, but with the help of funding, the Cluny venue was able to host the band's recent shows.[2] The band donated all proceeds from the gigs to the Sir Bobby Robson Cancer Research Charity, and both dates were completely sold out.

In April 2023, Paul Mullen and Justin Lockey revealed in an interview with NME that Yourcodenameis:milo was working on new music, which would be their first since their 2007 album, "They Came from the Sun." Yourcodenameis:milo on their reunion, new music and producing The 1975
