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
Read moreKaleo – Concert Review
Last night, Icelandic rock group Kaleo made their sequel appearance to a sold-out Turner Hall in a glorious way.

It’s clear who this band draws their influences from by creating their

Instead of a remix that needs to do justice to one song, there is pressure to pay proper homage to two artists, in this case being two legends in their own genres. When I initially saw a mashup between blues legend B.B.
Read moreBenjamin Booker at Turner Hall: A Review
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
