The band's unique sound is a collage of multiple musical styles, yet always remains heavy at the core. With jazz, techno, and hip-hop influences, Milkweed manages to achieve an addictive interplay of melody and groove (and sometimes utter discord) that makes even the most unsympathetic listener interested to say the least. For those that enjoy a good fuck in the ear, Milkweed is definitely the band for you. Milkweed's music will beat you, rape you, then gently caress you before it dismembers your seasoned sonic substructure and replaces it with such savory chaos.

While based in Cincinnati, the band has spent time touring up and down the Midwest and East Coast, from Illinois to Florida to New York, and everywhere in between. During this time, Milkweed has opened for multiple major label acts, including bands such as POWERMAN 5000, Hed P.E., Bobaflex, Tech N9ne, Mushroomhead, 40 Grit, OPM, Flaw, Five Bolt Main, Vampire Moose, Stemm, Foxy Shazam, Rock N Roll Soldiers, Straight Line Stitch, Beneath The Sky, and more.
