WMSE Local Live - The Hullmen by WMSE

WMSE Local Live - Dub Sea Tank Quintet by WMSE

Tigernite is a sequin-studded, riff-heavy glam rock creature native to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Songwriting inspired by witchcraft, comic books and beat poetry paired with the manic and soulful performances of frontwoman, Molly Roberts, drives Tigernite punching and kicking through a loud and colorful terrain with pop sensibility.

Straight from the bottom of the barrel these maws are scuzzy rockers. With killer bass lines, catchy riffs and all out vocals, The Rashita Joneses are sure to make vibrations that please. Though together for just less than four seasons, the band has already put out their debut EP just this last March 2015, toured relentlessly around the Midwest, released a split cassette with locals Filter Free Rodeo, and dropped [a]…7-inch.”

SIN BAD jumped onto the Milwaukee music scene about a year ago when they debuted a set of demos that local music media, Milwaukee Record, gave a lot of shouts about. The band has since played a ton of shows and spent some hours in the recording studio, getting ready to send some polished tracks out into the world sometime in the near future.

Filter Free Rodeo is a chocolate cake with three sprinkles. Iced with scuzzy vanilla and complimented with ice cream served from the floor of a garage, it’s like that movie you once saw

Creator of the “Godspel,” songwriter/performer Lord Fredd33 compels listeners with his deep, hypnotic drawl and mantra-style storytelling. His winding narratives depict life experiences abstracted and amplified as they run through his psyche. He has been quoted as saying “I’m doing this to save my soul,” explaining further that “music and performance are just as much a personal coping mechanism as they are a communal ritual.”

Testa Rosa, five years later since their last release II are back with more team-power, continuing on their trend of beautiful pop music and getting ready to release a brand new album. Singer Betty Blexrud-Strigens’ haunted pop songs sound at times like vintage girl-group and other times hinting at 4AD dream-jangle.. The best!

Brett Newski moved to Vietnam after becoming jobless, band-less, and girl-less in 2011. There, he wrote nearly 100 power-folk songs in the steaming city of Saigon for his latest release American Folk Armageddon. Newski now tours 200+ dates per year and has been featured in The Boston Globe, NoDepression, Rolling Stone S Africa, Guitar World, and Blurt Magazine. His style has been compared to Violent Femmes, Frank Turner, Jake Bugg, and Billy Bragg.
