Any suburban kid of a certain age who misses the wholehearted music of their anthemic rock radio listening youth will find THE MILWAUKEES<\/strong>\u2019 new effort The Calling<\/strong><\/em> (their sixth overall and their first since 2011) both sincere and familiar. The Jersey City rock band\u2019s sound is inspired by rock greats like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Replacements, H\u00fcsker D\u00fc, The Afghan Whigs and Foo Fighters, yet it fits right in alongside today\u2019s newer generation of notable American rock acts like The Hold Steady and The Gaslight Anthem. The Calling<\/strong> <\/em>will be released on August 21, 2020<\/strong>via<\/em>Mint 400 Records <\/strong>with the lead single “No Way Out<\/strong>” releasing June 26th<\/strong>. The record was produced by Tom Beaujour<\/strong>, who has a unique multi-faceted rock \u2018n\u2019 roll resume from record production to music journalism and performance (Nuthouse Recording, Nada Surf, Juliana Hatfield, Guided by Voices<\/em>, Guitar World, Revolver, Guitar Aficionado, Witch Taint <\/em>band member).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Milwaukees\u2019 double\u00a0decade longevity has produced a tight, modern rock record that glistens with melodic narrative and earworm-worthy, stand-alone fist-in-the air singles.\u00a0The Calling<\/em>\u00a0unfolds as a\u00a0collection of honest song-writing and strong musicianship.\u00a0The album track listing\u00a0kicks opens with the compelling single “No Way Out” and moves through\u00a0the opening breath of “Falling<\/strong>,”the\u00a0swagger of \u201cStay Gold<\/strong>\u201d and\u00a0rousing stompers like the driving \u201cMother Mary<\/strong>\u201d and expansive \u201cProud of Me<\/strong>,\u201d to earnest numbers like \u201cWild at Heart<\/strong>\u201d and \u201cHighwire<\/strong>,” ending with the plaintive title track \u201cThe Calling<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
