Milligram was an American rock band from Boston active from 1996 until 2002.
Formed by Jonah Jenkins and Darryl Shepard in 1996, Milligram had no permanent drummer. Shepard continued playing in Roadsaw, while Jenkins formed Miltown. After a predictably "major" label battle between Miltown and Warner Brothers/Giant Records, Jenkins returned to Milligram in 1998. After recruiting Bob Maloney on bass guitar and Zephan Courtney (StompBox, Juliana Hatfield, Chevy Heston) on drums, the Hello Motherfucker! EP CD/EP was recorded.
In late 1999, Milligram parted ways with Bob Maloney and recruited Jeff Turlik (Blue Man Group, StompBox, Roadsaw) on bass guitar. The Hello Motherfucker! EP CD/EP was released on April 28, 2000, on Tortuga Recordings. On March 20, 2001, the Hello Motherfucker! CD/EP was re-released with a bonus companion CD : Black & White Rainbow . Their next release, which was originally titled Death To America, was scheduled to be recorded starting on September 11, 2001, at the New Alliance Studios in Boston, but because of the 9/11 events, recording was pushed back to three days in November, 2001, with the final recording finished over three days in February, 2002. The release was also renamed This Is Class War . Fourteen songs from This Is Class War were originally released in a limited pressing of 300 hand-stamped CDRs on Jenkins's label, TRAKTOR7 Records.
The band broke up in summer 2002. Though they had disbanded only a few months earlier, the Milligram's final sessions were taken up by Small Stone Records and released on February 25, 2003, with more than 30 minutes of bonus material such as outtakes or remixes (drums and voices only).
In 2011, Milligram reformed to play at the Palladium with Kyuss Lives in Worcester, Massachusetts.
