The Milk Carton Kids es un dúo indie folk de Eagle Rock, California, formado por los guitarristas Kenneth Pattengale y Joey Ryan. El grupo se formó a principios de 2011. La banda ha grabado y editado tres discos: "Retrospect", "Prologue" y "The Ash & Clay". La banda es conocida por haber distribuido sus dos primeros álbumes de forma gratuita y por el uso de guitarras vintage: Ryan una Gibson J45 de 1951 y Pattengale una Martin 0-15 de 1954. Su estilo recuerda al de Simon & Garfunkel
