An anomaly among the college/indie rock-centered Athens, GA, scene from which they emerged, cult favorite Harvey Milk was responsible for some of the slowest, heaviest, and most uncompromising rock music created in the latter half of the '90s. The trio formed in the early '90s with a lineup of Creston Spiers (guitar/vocals), Stephen Tanner (bass), and Paul Trudeau (drums). They released their first album, My Love Is Higher Than Your Assessment of What My Love Could Be, on the tiny North Carolina-based Yesha label in 1996. The following year saw the release of their magnum opus and masterpiece, the tormented and at times painfully slow Courtesy and Good Will Toward Men, which was first issued exclusively on limited-edition double vinyl by Reproductive Records before eventually being reissued on CD by tUMULt in 2000.
