Formed in the mid 1990s, The Moloko Men are an Oi! band based out of Visalia, CA. The band members were influenced from many genres of music, but then cultivated a sound all their own. The Moloko Men followed the blueprint laid out by bands like Condemned 84 and then incorporated an East Coast hardcore blend, giving them a fast and aggressive sound. The Moloko Men were also heavily influenced by Stanley Kubrick s cult classic film, A Clockwork Orange, incorporating lyrics and bringing the occasional Nadsat fashion of the film to the stage, much like bands like Major Accident also did.

Member Adam Ament had played drums in Fresno bands such as Checkmate and Spider Besider (alongside of Brian Dixon, who years later would be one of the founding members of The Aggrolites). Tom Knox did the song writing and played lead guitar, while the others worked on lyrics and backing vocals. The Moloko Men have released several studio recordings on different labels over the years. Taking a note of their friends The Templars in NYC, The Moloko Men bought some recording gear of their own and recorded a split EP with Fresno’s Violent Drunks.

Pretty soon, the band’s reputation preceded them. Neighbors would call them “The Militia,” which the band turned into the phrase “Moloko Militia,” especially due to the band being avid gun owners. The band and friends would meet up on weekends for shooting and drinking just a few miles from their rehearsal space on the outskirts of town.

Can’t expect anything less from a band named after “a bit of the old ultra-violence.”

“Fast-paced and aggressive album of very high quality. A record that is perfect for drunken mayhem and for party slam dancing.” –Us of Oi of Sweden, usofoiofsweden.blogspot.com
