MILT - The Days of Milt


Come on, Australia: now you're just showing off! As if the current crop of Aussie punk rock bands wasn't already stacked enough, along comes this absolutely insane debut album from Melbourne-based MILT. The Days of Milt is a killer mash-up of ferocious garage punk and wonderfully odd post-punk delivered with an ideal mix of rage and humor. Songs range from savage rippers like "Procrastinator" and "White Collar Crime" to edgy post-punk bangers such as "9 to 5" and "Rising Inflation". Along the way, MILT takes the time to wax poetic about dead cats, educate you about insects, recite Ben Stiller's filmography, and spectacularly cover the Wiggles song "Fruit Salad". And an instrumental titled "Dawn of Shit" nicely sums up the state of the world. Who knew that a punk rock record could be so enlightening? A truly brilliant debut!
