Milagres is an American indie rock band from
Formation
Kyle Wilson (lead vocals, guitar), Fraser McCulloch (bass, keys, backing vocals), and Eric Schwortz (guitar, backing vocals, percussion) met while attending New York University. Drummer Steven Leventhal had played in bands with Schwortz since high school. Keyboardist Chris Brazee knew McCulloch from high school, where they were in a band together. The band was on shaky ground when Wilson went on a mountain climbing expedition in 2010: he sustained a fall and back injury, and wrote many of the songs that would become a part of Glowing Mouth while bed ridden. Upon hearing the album, music label Kill Rock Stars signed the band without even seeing them.
Shortly after their release in September 2011, the band signed with U.K. based label
In Spring of 2012, Paul Payabyab replaced original drummer Steve Leventhal.
