NYC Punk Reborn: Tom Milmore of The Rousers on MELTED

What a show! November 4, 2025 on MELTED was pure rock-and-roll magic as Frankie Hollywood dove deep into the lost glory of NYC punk with none other than Tom Milmore, lead guitarist of The Rousers ⚡

Talking with Tom was a total joy — a mix of raw history, humor, and heart. From tales of Manhattan’s late-’70s punk heyday to the rediscovery of their long-buried Rousers 1979 Sire Session, the conversation was a reminder of why this band mattered then — and still matters now.

The Rousers’ sound — all Gibson bite, hiccup vocals, and streetlight swagger — came roaring back to life thanks to Left For Dead Records and James Reynolds’ fearless resurrection of these Ed Stasium-engineered demos.
