Eight months ago I was living in Gunnison, Colorado, more or less trying to get my head straight. My friend Kelsey let me stay at a hostel she works at, the only catch being I had to share a bunk bed with a Vietnam vet who talked in his sleep.

Another great song from The American Dead out of Madison, WI. A bit different from much of their material, Ain’t It Strange has more of a pop punk feel with a bit of Country influence.
Most of the songs I’ve heard from them are the opposite, Country with a punk rock edge.
Either [...]
The American Dead are an Alt-Country band from Madison, WI with plenty of whiskey soaked twang and punk-tinged style. Their songs are a ton of fun and they consistently put on a hell of a show.
That being said, I’ve had this performance trapped in the archive for a few months now. They played with [...]
Hey Peeps,
Been awhile since I posted, but a ton of shit has been going on. No worries all of it is good, just been up to my ears in one thing or another and the blog took the worst hit from my crazy schedule.
Long story short, me and mine have relocated from Madison, [...]
I went to Austin this year with my buddy Brett Newski of The Nod and Yes Please! Media to check out what the big frickin deal is.
And holy shit, it was awesome :)
A few weeks back I was out at the Frequency in Madison checking out a band called Masked Intruder. It was awesome.
While I was there I figured I’d hang about and get some footage of another great Midwest punk band, Direct Hit! and alt-country badasses The American Dead.
Masked Intruder is the best pop-punk band you hope never gets out of prison! These guys are about two things – Stalkin’ and Rockin. Both of which they do very well (allegedly).
Recently I caught them playing at The Frequency in Madison to a highly entertained crowd. This one’s called “I Fought The Law (But [...]
The Skintones have been rocking crowds for over a decade, so when I saw them opening up for The Damned Things the other night I knew I had to get a good video. I managed to get a song called “Life Fight”, a new one for the Madison trio. It’s almost sounds like AC/DC [...]
The Few are pretty new to me, but they kicked ass at the High Noon a couple of weeks ago. This show was the night of the huge snow storm here in Wisconsin (something like 20 inches of snowfall), and they still drew a decent crowd, which says something about both the band and [...]
Madison band the media. (I didn’t forget to capitalize, that’s how they spell it, period and all) has a sound that seems modern, yet still conjures up vague musical impressions from my pre-teen years. Hard rocking guitars, catchy vocal melodies and danceable drumbeats.
I get it when I hear it, but for some reason [...]
