The Dead Milkmen
Recommended
They may not be the same lo-fi, art-punk freaks who brought you the zaniness of classic records like Big Lizard in My Backyard or Beelzebubba, but the Dead Milkmen are still crankin’ outsider punk weirdness to a cult following. The Philadelphia band’s 2014 LP, Pretty Music for Pretty People, is angrier than their previous work, imagining, as vocalist Rodney Anonymous told the Mercury in 2015, “what would happen if Sgt. Pepper's had bombed but the Velvet Underground record was the biggest record ever.” They’re one of the most treasured, irreverent punk bands in history, so you should make an effort to see them while they continue their late-stage reunion.
