Milkshake is the debut EP by British pop band Jaws. It features both of their singles and their B-sides up until when it was released, and a new single titled "Friend Like You", released on 31 March 2013.[1]

The EP was released on 21 April 2013 through Rattlepop as a digital download.[2] It was meant to be released on vinyl on the same date, but due to delay in the manufacturing of the vinyl made it be pushed to be released on 6 May. It was released on blue vinyl, limited to 250 copies.[3] On August 27, 2013, it was released in Japan on CD.[4] It was re-pressed on pink vinyl in December 2013, limited to 300 copies.[5]

NME gave the EP a fairly positive review saying that Jaws were "making laziness look and sound good since April 2013," as well as saying "no-one has ever sounded so much like the internal monologue of a sunbathing cat."[6]
