Milena Mepris (pronounced MEP-REE) is a rock singer, songwriter, and guitarist from New York City who isn’t afraid to put prettiness and humor back into rock and roll, with her soaring harmonies, driving bass lines and unique melodies.

Their first single, "Cryptic" is featured on the Kitsune Maison 5 Gold compilation, released on Feb 4, 2008 on the French label Kitsune and “Cryptic” will also be released as its own single in Spring 2008.

Mepris was previously in Pin Me Down managers Robt Ptak band Artificial Joy from 1998 to 2001 with Pin Me Down drummer Alex Elena.
