The only people I’ve met who have heard this band, are the hardcore fans. You’ve either heard this band or you haven’t. Harvey Milk hails from Athens, GA…the spawning grounds for many popular artists like R.E.M. and the B-52’s. With the history of Athens behind them you think that a band who has been around since ‘92, would receive some credit.

Only now is the band starting to gain recognition. The band name Harvey Milk comes from the man, who was the first openly gay man to be elected to a public office in California. However neither the band’s member’s sexual orientation nor the music fit the term gay. It is probably the most brutal, heart-wrenching music you could ever listen to…especially their early LP’s.

Harvey Milk, the band, was active from ‘92 until ‘98 when they disbanded for almost a decade, coming back in ‘06 to release “Special Wishes”. Two years later, they released this LP “Life…The Best Game In Town”. The difference being on this release the band recruited Stoner Metal extraordinaire, Joe Preston. Preston was in the ever influential The Melvins, Earth, High on Fire, Sunn O))) and his own solo project Thrones.

Take a listen to Harvey Milk, especially if you happen to be a fan of Doom and Stoner metal.
