Milk - Tantrum | 90s Album Review
from Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock · host Dig Me Out
We don't think of many bands coming out of the UK in the early nineties that could fit nicely on a bill with The Jesus Lizard or Mudhoney, but the 1991 album Tantrum by UK band Milk makes the case that noise rock wasn't just an American phenomenon coming out of hardcore. Frenetic rhythms and dissonant guitars shine on the record, covering for a solid but unremarkable vocal performance. The band is at its best when the volume and intensity quickly shift into quasi-blues riffs and thrash metal shredding via Neil Young. Songs In This Episode Intro - Is That It? 13:08 - Claws 19:46 - Hot Seat 28:36 - Book One, Page One Outro - Billy and Bobby Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.
