Milkbomb

Electric Guitar. Bass guitar. A Five piece drum kit. The guy with the electric guitar is singing into a microphone. It’s loud, but it’s catchy. It’s organic. It’s REAL. It all used to be so simple. Wipe out the artificial excess of the scene, and start it over so it matters again.

Milkbomb was a grunge/pop band from Portland, OR, reminiscent of the days when the much needed breath of fresh air that was NW Rock & Roll was king. Milkbomb's debut CD "None of These People are Real" provided that same breath of fresh air from a unique perspective, addressing the frustration and hopelessness of growing up in an isolated, rural community and waving the flag for the growing segment of rock and roll fans who don’t feel represented by either the mainstream (too artificial and predictable) nor indie (too self-important and predictable) communities.

Vocalist/Guitarist Peter Sampson and Drummer Kevin Dukes grew up together in the small two town Oregon community of Yamhill/Carlton, meeting in high school and playing together in several local bands. Both moved to Portland, and the search was on to round out the Milkbomb lineup. They went through several false starts on bass before finding a companion that shared a similar ethic. Enter bassist Isaac Dickman. After quickly honing their sound, Milkbomb gained a following, one great, unpredictable show at a time.

Milkbomb were compared to Nirvana, Mudhoney, Foo Fighters, Pinehurst Kids, and even Beat Happening.
