If It's Too Loud...

Since The Dead Milkmen reunited in 2008, their latest single feels like the most classic Dead Milkmen song they've released. "Philadelphia Femdom" is a punk song with a sense of humor. If anything, the song celebrates the dominatrix lifestyle, and mentions that most of the people that seem to decry sex work are the ones who tend to seek out the services. Calling out the hypocrisy of politicians, religious leaders, etc. is a classic Dead Milkmen subject, and "Philadelphia Femdom" fits that perfectly. My favorite classic Dead Milkmen songs are the type that seem silly and fun while being biting social commentary, and this fits in perfectly. You can watch the video for "Philadelphia Femdom" below. Quaker City Quiet Pills is due out June 9 on The Giving Groove, and is available for pre-order here . For more on The Dead Milkmen, check out their website.

I've been a die hard Dead Milkmen fan for about thirty years now, and I'm thrilled any time we can bring you new music from the Philly punks. They have a new single out, and their first new album since 2017's Welcome to the End of the World. "Grandpa's Not a Racist (He Just Voted for One)" is the closest they've come to sounding like their 80's and 90's selves since they reunited. This new song sounds like it could have been an unreleased song from Beelzebubba or Eat Your Paisley. Subject matter wise, "Grandpa's Not a Racist (He Just Voted for One)" fits their old school songs, too. It's a biting commentary that blatantly mocks right wing fears and voting habits without being jokey. It's fntastic that a band can be forty years into existence and thirteen years into a reunion and still be this vital. You can listen to "Grandpa's Not a Racist (He Just Voted for One)" below.
