Stone Sour fire up a frosty Milwaukee

StoneSour

There’s nothing like a heavy double headliner to warm up an icy Milwaukee winter. Up until now it has been pretty mild, and I say that for the weather and live shows in the area, but that all changed when Corey Taylor and the rest of the seasoned rock veterans of Stone Sour had something [...]

DSC_2386

Grace Potter isn’t your average attention seeking pop star. Sure she’s got the looks, but it’s her cozy feel-good music that sets her apart. “We love coming back to Milwaukee!” “Milwaukee knows how to groove!” Grace Potter wasn’t short of compliments for the persistently welcoming Milwaukee crowd. And she should; time and time again Milwaukee fans have [...]

Texas In July – Texas In July

Texas-In-July-Self-Titled

Texas in July’s self-titled follow up to 2011′s One Reality has brought their metal endeavours to new heights. Now, being a huge fan of Texas in July, I had some idea of what was to come with this much yearned fall release, but I was still pleasantly surprised with most of the new music. Their self-titled album hits my ears [...]

The 2nd Law – Muse

Muse-2nd-Law

Muse has been working their way to superstar status starting with their very first release. These guys just know what’s up and know how to put fantastic music into people lives. If you haven’t figured it out already, Muse has this sort of rock-pop-electronica feel to their music. It’s nothing too overboard though; it’s actually [...]
