When you see a name like Green Milk from the Planet Orange, it’s typically safe to assume it’s a high school band that doesn’t know any better. But when you learn that said band is from Japan and it’s on Beta-lactum Ring records, then it becomes less cringe-worthy and instantly intriguing, as that label is the home of several legendarily experimental and early industrial artists like Nurse with Wound, Current 93, and Coil.
