Harvey Milk
1993–present·Athens, GA
Athens trio fronted by Creston Spiers — a voice like someone's singing to you from inside a well. Reactor and Hydra Head era records (Courtesy and Good Will Toward Men, Special Wishes, Life...The Best Game In Town) are all essential sludge-adjacent noise rock. Writes actual songs with melodies under guitar tones that could crack pavement. One of the most underrated bands of the era.

Harvey Milk's frontman. One of the most underrated songwriters in noise rock / sludge — writes melodies you can actually hum over guitar tones that could bend rebar. The singing voice is a ragged croon that carries more weight than it should be able to.
