In Tilburg, Netherlands in the mid-80`s, there was a hardcore band called S.R.V and a hardcore band called Kutnaam 1001. In 1994 Kutnaam 1001-vocalist Meeri joined forces with the three S.R.V.-members. From that moment on they became known as MilkMan.
This band’s first efforts were a demo called “It`s Not a Choice” (1995) and their first CD “Combover World” (1998). Loud, fast and tight was going to be their motto. In 2000 Kangaroo Records (Amsterdam) started to show interest in the band. Having a reputation for releasing loud and fast hardcore, Milkman felt it would be the perfect label. In 2001 Kangaroo released their second CD “Fresh Fruit For Rotten Aliens”. The reactions to the CD were beyond the band’s expectations and the MilkMan name started to spread further and further. This resulted in more compilations, The Official DRI Tribute CD and a split single with Dutch band Plankton.
Early 2003 Milkman released their third album, “Is this Punk enough for you?”, again on the Kangaroo label. The CD was comprised of 21 songs that “bursted off” in 24 minutes. Since then Milkman played live with bands such as DRI, UK Subs, Cause for Alarm, Poison Idea, Gang Green, Carnivore, Pro-Pain, The Anti Nowhere League, and Municipal Waste. In August 2007 their fourth album, Nostalgiator, was released by the Shield Recordings label. This CD was reminiscent of their “fast, loud and tight” playing style, but was also slightly more diverse. It took the band three days instead of the usual two to record and mix it. Their 15th anniversary was celebrated in September 2009 with an album release, “15 years of Hell”.
