AUDIO: Binky Tunny – “RANDO”
Milwaukee’s own Binky Tunny is back at it again, and this time the prolific rock outsider is dropping a new collection titled RANDO — a name that feels less like a marketing strategy and more like a wink at anyone still trying to neatly categorize this artist.
Following the March 2025 release of Tangents, RANDO continues Binky Tunny’s run of restless, genre-curious rock songwriting. The catalog so far — from The Black Sheep Chronicles to Classic Punk Unplugged to Tangents — has shown a willingness to chase ideas wherever they lead, and RANDO leans all the way into that energy. The title isn’t a throwaway; it’s a thesis. These are songs that don’t ask permission, don’t sit still, and don’t bother pretending to be anything other than what they are.
For Milwaukee listeners who’ve been keeping tabs on the city’s deep bench of independent rock artists, Binky Tunny remains one of the most consistently active voices working outside the usual club-circuit machinery. RANDO is the kind of release that rewards a full front-to-back listen rather than a quick algorithmic skim — so grab a coffee, a beer, or whatever fuels your weekday, and give it the attention it earns.
Stream RANDO in full on Bandcamp below, and consider tossing a few bucks toward the artist while you’re there. Independent rock doesn’t fund itself.
