ELUSIVE PARALLELOGRAMS
"Milwaukee band Elusive Parallelograms built on the promise of 2007’s Doublethink EP with 2008’s great full-length debut, And Everything Changes—an album that drew on ’60s psychedelia, late-’80s shoegaze, and ’90s indie rock with a firm grasp of pop-rock songcraft. 2011’s Modern Splendor takes that same grungy, psychedelic schizophrenia and fleshes it out into more of a conventional rock package. The Parallelograms may take fewer risks on the album, but they’re still at their best living and dying by the dirty, catchy riff, like the growler found in “Odds And Evens,” and the dizzying, criss-cross strummage that caps the title track."- The Onion AV Club

WORRIER
“You get a little bit of everything in it, from dance beats to erratic
drum changes coupled with beautiful guitar parts. It feels like Worrier
wasn’t holding back when they decided to make their first album, and
neither should they have. There’s never a dull or empty moment, even in parts where there’s only kooky noises blaring. “I Am the River” keeps
your interest at every second, with different voices coming from all
directions and come great guitar riffs blasting you into another realm
of music. It makes it hard to peg a genre for the album to go under.
It’s everything from electronic to straight-up rock and roll and
everything in between. If awesome was a genre, it would definitely be
under there.” HEAVEmedia.com

RED STUFF
"If everything Robert Johnson knew about music was based solely on
listening to soundtracks from Roger Corman biker movies, he might have sounded like Red Stuff, Milwaukee’s pre-eminent backwoods scuzz-surf duo. The group’s full-length debut, The Best Of Hot Rod Love, is built on minimalist gutbucket guitar riffs, clinky organ fills, and
primordial rhythms that appear to have oozed slowly out of a deep, dark
muck made of oil, dirt, and bathtub gin. Guitarist Tom Wanderer hosts
the Thursday afternoon blues show on WMSE, and his love of obscure vinyl is evidenced on the record’s lovingly packaged artwork. But while the influences Wanderer and bandmate Kelly Buros are drawing on are
discernable—think Dick Dale jamming with Jack White and Devo’s rhythm section—the final result is its own demented beast." – The Onion
MOSS FOLK
Highly influenced by early Pink Floyd, Krautrock, Hawkwind, and American noise-rock pioneers Cock E.S.P, Milwaukee’s Andrew James Shelp's Moss Folk’s ambient, trance, worldly influenced psychedelia features lots of droney improvisations rotated around written songs, often surrounded with like-minded local musicians and topped off with visual accompaniment.
