Sonnichsen, Tyler

***The Dead Milkmen emerged from the Philadelphia hardcore scene in 1983, released their debut album Big Lizard in My Backyard in 1985, and quickly became hard-touring college rock chameleons who eviscerated American exceptionalism, Generation X, and even their own left-field MTV success. When alternative rock took over, the scenes and styles they helped forge suddenly had no place for them, and the band dissolved as the internet began changing everything. After the odyssey and death of a founding member, an increasingly fucked-up world brought the veterans back together. Against remarkable odds, the Milkmen have returned to their world-building DIY roots, inspiring a new generation of fans.
