Event Details
BURNING SONS
"In an era when the hot trend is updating ’80s synth-pop, Burning Sons come along to update ’80s hardcore. The crowning result is a slab of white vinyl with enough gut-churning bile and mad, militaristic fury to reduce your stereo to rubble. Callous and venomous like most great punk rock—but not without its humorous moments—Reduced To Equality showcases a band that developed rapidly from a quick side project while members’ other bands were on break into one of the city’s most prolific names. The record captures all the energy of the band’s blistering live shows, tightened up (but not too tight) by Milwaukee’s star production team at Howl Street Recordings." - The Onion AV Club's Top 15 Milwaukee Albums Of 2011

MAIDENS
Maidens, a Milwaukee foursome that experiments with the varying textural and rhythmic signatures of metal and post-hardcore, will release its latest EP (and its first with its current lineup)...Maidens sing of anguish and sacrifice over sludgy guitar riffs and violent, post-hardcore time signatures on their rousing new EP, Shallows.

MILLIONS(CHI.)
Millions guitarists Scott Flaster and Corey Lyons are quarreling musical twins whose differences set the tension on which Millions' sound is based. Flaster and Lyons' dueling guitars create a codependent relationship of angst and grandeur - the neurotic impatience of Black Flag scraping up against the anthemic melodies of King Crimson.

Driven by this tension, the sound of Millions is that of vicious mood swings. On Gather Scatter, Millions' debut full length (the Telephone Game EP was released in 2007 on Team Abunai Records), songs brood and boil, then erupt into manic fits, sometimes soaring toward light, sometimes crashing and burning. The pounding rhythm section of bassist Mark Konwinski and drummer Patrick O'Shea drives straight and steady through the storms.
