Harvey Milk

After making their auspicious but notoriously underexposed debut with 1994’s ‘My Love Is Higher Than Your Assessment Of What My Love Could Be’, Athens (GA) dirge lords Harvey Milk recorded two more full-lengths (1995’s Courtesy And Good Will Towards Men and 1997’s The Pleaser) before going tits up in 1998 in a fit of nuptials and child-rearing.

Reintroduced to the underground at large through reissues and live DVDs Harvey Milk celebrated their own renaissance with the release of Live…The Best Game In Town’ on Hydra Head Records. Spearheaded by the alternately burly and angelic vocal stylings of Milk mastermind Creston Spiers, ‘The Best Game In Town’ is both tumultuous and gruelling, resonating with the glorious slow-motion radiance of Total Dirge Power. In layman’s terms: Yet another classic.

In 2010 the band returned with “A Small Turn of Human Kindness”, an album laden with brooding doom riffs. With great reviews across the board, all the signs are suggesting Harvey Milk have struck gold once again.
