Harvey Milk is an American experimental rock/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, Leonard Cohen, and Kiss as influences in their music.
One April Fool's Day gig at the 40 Watt in Athens, they performed R.E.M.
Originally a trio of Creston Spiers, Stephen Tanner, and Paul Trudeau, the band released one album, My Love Is Higher Than Your Assessment of What My Love Could Be, before Trudeau left in 1996.
The band toured the eastern and southern US as well as Germany, England, Belgium, France and Scotland during the Summer of 2008.
