“I know you’ve been worried. I have. Lately the Jersey music scene seems to be all about synthesized dance beats and post-modern ennui. The Milwaukees are here to say fear not. Big guitar rock is alive and well in the Garden State.

“There’s nothing groundbreaking here, and in this case, that’s a very good thing. This is meat and potatoes blue collar rock. The songs are about driving, women, and driving some more. The guitars blaze, and frontman Dylan St. Clark provides some of the best vocal performances of the year. Hit the road, open your car windows, and turn it up loud.

“‘Moonshaker’ and ‘Bullet Train’ will have you pounding the steering wheel. Apparently American Anthems vol. 2 is already in the can, and that is something to look forward to.”
