It may not be Rolling Stone, but a quick hat tip to Lazlo at blowupradio.com for being the first to hop on the band wagon to review American Anthems vol. 1.

Here’s what he had to say:

Milwaukees - “American Anthems vol. 1″

With, “American Anthems vol. 1″, The Milwaukees have crafted an album that to me is really a perfect interweaving of two different albums. The first two songs on the CD are fist pumping, air guitar playing, sing along, rock songs. then the album takes a sharp turn, without being jarring to the listener, into a more Roots Rock/Americana/Alt-Country ballad for the next two tracks. As strong as their rock songs are, and they really are fun, the real emotional connection for the album comes through in these powerful, soulful ballads. The album continues to perfectly ping pong between rock songs and Americana ballads, leaving me wanting more when the nearly 41 minute run time of the CD ended.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Milwaukees CD release party is happening at Maxwell’s on Saturday September 8th. 

Thanks Lazlo!
