Milk Music: "I've Got A Wild Feeling"

Milk Music's new track wouldn't be out of place on a Tony Hawks game.

Remember the old Tony Hawks Pro Skater games? Aside from pulling McTwists and hitting up the School II level, the best part was the music. For pre-teens cutting their teeth on grip tape, the THPS soundtrack was the bible. It taught me about backpack rap and it also taught me about gritty punk bands. Washington’s Milk Music aren’t so much a gritty punk band but rather an extension of the fuzzy malaise set forth by Dinosaur JR. So, with that said, they wouldn’t be out of place on one of the Birdman’s games.

“I’ve Got A Wild Feeling” bleeds both nostalgia and sadness, creating one big apathetic bruise. Guitars collapse into blurred, shaken-out-of-bed vocals as the band fight their way through a ramshackle, three-minute fuck you ode to the discomfort of growing up.

The track is taken from their second LP, set for release April 2 via Fat Possum.
