Californian alt-rocker Chuck Prophet (formerly of Green on Red) makes a welcome to the UK in 2012. Prophet will play the Barbican - supporting the Jayhawks - on March 8. Inspired the White Riots following the assassination of Harvey Milk, the video for White Night, Big City is comprised of genuine archive footage of the unrest across San Francisco and is an incredibly interesting and inspirational watch, and is taken from the Temple Beautiful album released on Yep Roc on March 5th 2012. Chuck Prophet - White Night, [...]
"You moved in slow degrees/A sudden memory/You're a Leonard Cohen song" - Better Than Ezra, "Under You" "But I was caught, like a fleeting thought / Stuck inside Leonard Cohen's mind" - Mercury Rev, "A Drop In Time" "Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld / So I can sigh eternally" - Nirvana, "Pennyroyal Tea" It's almost unbelievable now to think that we almost never heard Leonard Cohen , the singer. A well-regarded poet from the late [...]

Harvey Milk Three I-just-realized-how-amazing-su nblock-is-like-it-really-works reasons to just keep wiping your brow on your way to the Beat Kitchen tonight: 1. Athens, Georgia's enigmatic maybe metal band Harvey Milk come a-rumbling through town. Formed in the early 902s, Harvey Milk has seen the proverbially line up changes and disbandment only to re-emerge in 2005. They've gone from some painfully slow heaviness to more straight forward rock and continue to follow their own odd little muse. Recognition has come slowly but it feels like folks [...]

Harvey Milk A Small Turn of Human Kindness Released May 18, 2010 (Hydra Head) High On Fire Snakes For The Divine Released February 23, 2010 (Koch Records) Lin: A- (Havey Milk) Alright, so, this album is right up my alley, though if you don't like it, I'll understand. Big, thick, crunching chords. Vocals halfway between singing and growling, a rougher Danzig being the closest comparison. Lyrics as bleak as a dead forest in winter (check [...]
Daily Swarm has a hell of an interview up with Stephen Tanner, a beloved chef at Brooklyn's Commodore restaurant (it has what's called the best fried chicken in New York), who also, as it turns out, plays bass in hardcore band Harvey Milk. Seriously: One of the dudes in Harvey Milk is a fried chicken chef: TDS: So everyone you work with in the kitchen knows about your music career? Or is it sometimes a surprise to people when they find out? ST: It's not much of a career! I [...]
[photo courtesy of John Ruscher and Eardrum NYC ] Harvey Milk has been described as metal, sludge, sludge-core, noise rock, and experimental noise. Labels aside, this is an unabashed rock band - one that plays at an extreme volumes, draws from countless influences, and plays without the slightest pretense. Last night was the closing of their three-show residency at Union Pool , and while the previous shows had featured complete album performances, Tuesday's set was a representative mix of their material split evenly between the old and new. Harvey Milk [...]

Union Pool was the perfect place to be close enough to hear Creston's vocals... They announced they were playing 'Human Kindness' straight through and then [would] play 'as long as we physically can as long as we don't have [...]

The stories of industry people -- unnamed label employees -- rolling their eyes as they talk about the difficulties of working with Harvey
by ill? ya! (NYC) Unholy shit! Apparently the spring thaw brings sunshine, warmer weather and a fuck-load of hate and darkness. March is bloated with shows, so choose carefully (and stock up on earplugs). This week, I assume most of you will steer clear of ol' Dani Filth. Oh, Nachtmystium are on that bill? Good for them. Instead, catch the old-school death/thrash of Master and the unfuckwithable

My favorite blues doomsmen Harvey Milk see their latest stellar album (one of thesesean's favorites of last year) get the vinyl treatment. The LP drops today over at the Hydra Head shop. The band was also recently featured on the Emmy-winning live music program We Have Signal. The PBS program is a series of live video recordings featuring "new and innovative bands from around the state, the
