Harvey Milk are an American experimental massive noise rock band that formed in Athens, Georgia in the early 1990s. While Harvey Milk invariably draws comparisons to the Melvins, due to their penchant for slow, heavy riffs, the band has touched upon such artists as ZZ Top, Led Zeppelin and Leonard Cohen as influences in their music. They even went so far as to perform a live show consisting of nothing but Hank Williams covers. One April Fool’s Day gig at the 40 Watt in Athens, they performed R.E.M.’s Reckoning from beginning to end while Michael Stipe was in attendance.

The band are named after Harvey Milk, San Francisco, California’s first openly gay city supervisor, who was murdered in 1978.

They disbanded in 1998, and reformed in 2006. In 1995 Harvey Milk created “Courtesy and Good Will Towards Men.” On June 3, 2008, Harvey Milk released Life… The Best Game In Town. The band toured the eastern and southern US as well as Germany, England, Belgium, France and Scotland during the Summer of 2008. « Life… The Best Game In Town » was voted Best Album of 2008 in Rock-A-Rolla magazine writer’s poll although guitarist/vocalist Creston Spiers sees it as the band’s worst album.
