The Dead Milkmen are a Punk band that started in the late 70's by Joseph Genaro as a "band" that recorded and distributed tapes of music recorded on low fidelity 4-tracks. By 1983, the group had its lineup filled in with Rodney Linderman, Joseph Genaro, Dean Sabatino, and Dave Schulthise.

They released their first full-length LP "Big Lizard in My Backyard" in 1985 on Restless Records. This was followed by several albums including "Eat Your Paisley!", "Bucky Fellini", "Beelzebubba", "Metaphysical Graffiti", "Soul Rotation", "Not Richard, But Dick", and "Stoney's Extra Stout (Pig)".

The Dead Milkmen disbanded in 1995 due to health issues faced by Schulthise and issues with Hollywood Records years prior. After Schulthise's death in 2004, the remaining members played tribute concerts before officially reforming with Dan Stevens on bass guitar. They released new albums such as "The King in Yellow" and "Pretty Music for Pretty People". They also released an EP titled "Welcome to the End of the World" for philanthropic reasons.

Brand new release from Philadelphia punks The Dead Milkmen.

Their 11th studio album, Quaker City Quiet Pills is the Dead Milkmen’s first new record since 2014. Featuring singles "Astral Dad" and "Grandpa's Not A Racist (He Just Voted For One)", this LP is sure to bring joy to Milkmen fans across the globe.

The 9- year break has been ended by a return to form – which for the Dead Milkmen, means energised punk hooks, irreverent humour, and biting social commentary. If It’s Too Loud describe opening track 'Grandpa's Not a Racist (He Just Voted for One)' as “the closest they've come to sounding like their 80's and 90's selves”. 

As with all releases from label The Giving Groove, 50% of proceeds from album sales go to a music non-proft selected with the help of the artist – with the Dead Milkmen choosing Rock to the Future, who equip Philadelphia youth with the skills to support lifelong well- being through free music programs. Rock to the Future founder and CEO Jessica Craft credits the label’s support with the expansion of 'life-transforming access to learning, creating and performing music’.
