Wisco: A Tribute To Wilco's Summerteeth — a music compilation featuring our favorite Wisconsin artists each covering a track off of Wilco's 1999 LP , Summerteeth . I am honored to provide you with our labor of love. The state of Wisconsin is overflowing with musical talent. So much more than could ever be captured in just one compilation like this. That being said, I thought about the records that meant the most to me. Ones that I absolutely could [...]

If you've been to the South By Southwest Music Festival in Austin before you know the drill. Sore feet, bags under the eyes, hearing slightly damaged, voice lacking from talking over loud music constantly, slight hangover, and mandatory delays on your travel home are all some of the guarantees that attendees put themselves through. What could possibly make humans put themselves through such perils? What bands would be willing to endure days worth of driving and unimaginable parking hassles for the chance of playing in front of an unknown audience that chances are doesn't know [...]

by Tyler Fassnacht Now I consider myself an above average fan of Trail of Dead and an above average fan of the Secret Machines , so when I saw that their joint tour was making a stop at the Majestic, I figured that I should probably go. The first band that played was a Milwaukee band, that just came out for this show, called Invade Rome , who I believe used to be called Freshwater Collins. They played rock with a tinge of gritty southern drive and some [...]
Matt and Kim It's January, AKA "dead time" in the world of music blogging. December is great because you can do all sorts of "year in review" stuff, but once January rolls around, nobody of consequence is releasing new music, nobody's touring... it's just dead. You could do one of those "what I'm looking forward to in 2009" posts, but I find those exceedingly boring, and plus, you can't predict what's gonna happen. To pass the time here are a few new mp3s: [...]
Milwaukee based Invade Rome have teamed with Death Cab for Cutie producer Beau Sorensen for their latest effort Light Eyed and Villainous. However, their music couldn't be more different from Ben Gibbard's typical depressed fare. In fact, I've been having a hard time categorizing their music myself. While it's definitely rock, the comparisons include everything from Muse, Scott Weiland, Chris Cornell, The Strokes and even a touch of Johnny Cash. Nevertheless, the band consistently offers upbeat high energy songs with addicting guitar riffs and powerful drum lines. With such a high level of energy [...]
