Milwaukee’s HOME☆GOING is back with “Agitator,” a new release that lives up to its name in all the best ways. Filed under pop but far too restless to sit still inside any single genre box, the track is the kind of hook-forward, tension-wound song that rewards the repeat button and a decent pair of headphones.

There’s a reason HOME☆GOING keeps popping up on the more interesting corners of Milwaukee’s live listings — including an August 6, 2026 bill with TIFFY and Courtesy Call — and “Agitator” makes the case pretty plainly. The songwriting leans into pop sensibility without sanding down the edges, splitting the difference between a bright, sticky top line and an underlying itch that feels drawn from the city’s punk and indie DNA. Call it pop for people who own more Milwaukee basement-show flyers than Spotify playlists.

Give it a spin, then queue it up again while you plan out your next show night.
