Waldemar

Waldemar combines soaring vocals and poignant, confessional lyrics against a dense backdrop of sweeping guitar tapestries and synth textures to deliver a sonic freight train of an album. The new record “Ruthless” is a journeyman musician’s fixation, the renegade harmonies of a blue-collar poet.

Formed 10 years ago in Wausau, Barely Civil’s sound encompasses emo, punk and post-rock. Their first single in three years “Coasting, Mostly” is out now.

North Warren, named after the street he lived on as he began releasing music, is the creative endeavor of Luke Esperes, a tenacious artist residing in Milwaukee. Luke’s influences come from bands such as Harvey Danger, Let's Wrestle, and Built To Spill making indie/punk/alternative rock with an emotional weight.
