Read moreVIDEO: Stealth – “Blame”
If you’re a fan of brooding, dark, blues-inspired indie, we might have just found the video that you’ll be playing on repeat for quite some time. UK artist Stealth’s “Blame” combines the raw emotion of a souring relationship with a gripping, exciting instrumental bed.

Look, while we can champion Milwaukee for its up and coming trendy neighborhoods and modern downtown developments, we can’t ignore the fact that Milwaukee is still situated in Wisconsin. This blend of urban and rural, however, can lead to some interesting environments to create music within. Case in point: MUSTAS’ latest, “Volume One – Barn Sessions”. While it may not

When I initially saw a mashup between blues legend B.B.

Benjamin Booker is not a wholesome folk singer. He graces the stage with a toughness. He is aloof, he smokes cigarettes, and he is unafraid to spew some obscenities toward drunken crowd members begging for recognition. What initially intrigued me about Booker was his subtle mesh of influences. I’ve heard him described as punk, blues and folk, but none of
