RAT BATH is a band of all trans-gender individuals that reclaim queer-coded villains from their childhood as heros in their storytelling and strive for visibility in the music industry. They describe their sound as “Post-Everything Rat Core” but have also been called Bubble Grunge, Alternative Emo, Dirt Americana and Melodic Hardcore. Which ever way you slice it; they are fast, loud, and have a unique ability to seamlessly blend influences together.
Their freshman album Rat From Hell is considered to be Vocalist, Fred’s autobiography and was named one of The Milwaukee Record’s best albums of 2022. The shift in sound between tracks highlight the different ways trauma manifests in one’s life ranging from anger, vengeance, grief, romanticism, and finally, catharsis.
Their second studio album Call Me a Monster, otherwise known as their “Murder Country Rock Opera,” showcases inspiration from both mid-century Outlaw Country and Y2K style Emo and Post-Hardcore.
The sophomore album once again earned Milwaukee Record’s recognition as one of the best albums of 2023 as well as national recognition, marking a new era in the quickly expanding “Y’allternative” movement in 2020’s independent music.
Moonglow is a Milwaukee band comprised of members Joe Humiston (Vocals, Keys), Sterling Dorsey (Percussion), Brent Gastrau (Bass), Tyler Kraft (Saxophone), and Isaac Repinski (Guitar). The band draws influence from a variety of individuals and artists. Including but not limited to, Jamiroquai, J-Dilla, Tatsuro Yamashita, D’Angelo, and the soundtrack of Shrek 2. Drawing on these influences and their own musicianship the band seeks to give the audience an experience of musical variety. Playing bops, ballads, slow-jams, fast-jams, and really fast-jams. To get a taste of what’s in store, check out their debut self-titled album on all streaming services.
Eclectic. Aggressive. Prolific. These are a few of the words that have been continuously used to describe Milwaukee’s Guerrilla Ghost. Having been active since 2017, the duo (which is composed of producer Tron Jovi and vocalist Bad Graphics Ghost) have amassed a catalog that rivals contemporaries with twice the tenure.
Now entering seven years of existence, Guerrilla Ghost plans on celebrating this milestone achievement by offering their fourth full length, and second album this year, available on November 11th, 2022 via Triple Eye Industries, which is cryptically titled “Dying”. As with their previous efforts, the album showcases continued growth and unwavering talent from a group highly proficient in their craft.
“As long as we have the technology and the voice, we’ll ride this beast until the wheels fall off. We agree that we’ve accomplished practically everything we’ve set out to do, so at this point in our career we’re pretty much looking down on a sky that was once the limit.” – Bad Graphics Ghost, of Guerrilla Ghost
