The Dead Milkmen Release New EP

Philly punk icons the Dead Milkmen are pleased to announce their new EP, Welcome to the End of the World, out this month on The Giving Groove. And to celebrate, the band is launching a remix contest in partnership with The Giving Groove and TASCAM.

The dancers, Nicole and Rebecca, explore the decks of the SS Columbia as a borrowed symbolic environment for the labyrinthine passageways of persona and complex, all taking place in the mind of one woman, likely in a single moment.”
