Milk St. and the Northeast Emo driven nirvana of "FREE ACID"

 

"oh the smoke is just starting to hit my blood / as we crossed into Vermont..."

Stepping into the clear inebriation of "FREE ACID" by Bangor, Maine punk trio Milk St. and I can't help but think of a cross generational subversive No Sweater song by time traveling cosmic hippies who don't realize they are hippies at all. Maybe an amalgam of Weezer, Violent Femmes, Cake, Pixies and the mythical Folk Nirvana.

Milk St., after all "takes the melodic aspects of midwest emo, and the rawness of grunge to create what they call, Northeast Emo" and it is a fair name, fair description. The trio is Jonah Wakefield on guitar and vocals, Gabe Chambers on bass and Harry Burns on drums. "FREE ACID" is from the "Free Acid / Cycles" EP out now. Check it out.

Northeast Emo From the Pine Tree State

Hailed as a "Thinking Man's Punk Rock Band," by Mainebrews N Musicreviews, Milk St. is a punk trio from Bangor, Maine who takes the melodic aspects of midwest emo, and the rawness of grunge to create what they call, Northeast Emo. In an attempt to capture the beautifully depressing aspects of their home state of Maine, Milk St. draws from bands such as Title Fight, Modern Baseball, Nirvana, and more to create something totally new. With the release of their Debut Full Length Album: Spaced, and their newest single "Just Lust," Milk St. are already hard at work on their next EP.
