Bio / Background
The Milwaukees "create adventurous music that is complex and viscerally gripping." (Newark Star Ledger). Their combination of melody and energy separates them from the formulaic rock bands that dominate much of the music scene. It is this combination that lead Time Out New York to say, "[The Milwaukees] distinguish themselves from the rest of the emo-rock crowd by actually expressing some emotion, rather than just peering inward, and they charge forward with energy with nice melodies and harmonies."
Combining influences that range from early-nineties post-punk and indie rock bands such as Dinosaur Jr, Sebadoh, Teenage Fanclub, and Nirvana to the best rock songwriters like Lennon/McCartney and Elvis Costello, with an unabashed taste for classic rock, The Milwaukees play music that truly moves you.
The band has worked to spread the word with substantial touring in the US and across Canada. They have played colleges, bars, theaters, and basements.
