Biography

What Made Milwaukee Famous may unashamedly wear their pop on their sleeves, but that new wave sheen is stretched taut over a muscular frame of sweaty rock. Milwaukee’s energetic, forceful, and impassioned music feels immediately familiar. Michael Kingcaid’s laid-back vocals swoon and swagger in and out of the bands rolling melodies, and although sonically polished the music maintains just enough… Read more in Amazon's What Made Milwaukee Famous Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing. Pick this one up!, September 6, 2006
This review is from: Trying to Never Catch Up (Audio CD)
What Made Milwaukee Famous is a true treat to experience. Although the album was only recently released, they've had the exact same album (plus and minus one or two songs) out that they promoted and self-released many years earlier. I had the joy of listening to them live at Stubb's Bar-B-Que when they were one of the opening bands for Snow Patrol. However, it should have been the other way around that night with Snow Patrol opening for them.

So if you feel like taking a chance on a new band, do not hesitate to try 'Trying to Never Catch Up,' you will be so happy that you did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome BAND, May 17, 2006
WMMF was indeed a breath of fresh air. They are one of my new favorite bands. After they rocked the stage at SXSW this year in Austin I have loved them. They manage to mix and match so much of what is good out there. Check them out if you wanna hear good tunes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Barsuk Rides Again, October 9, 2006
This review is from: Trying to Never Catch Up (Audio CD)
I can't believe these guys were hanging out for two years with most of this album self-released. This album is not merely the sum of their influences. They may not be the next Shins or Death Cab, but I do think this band has the same "it factor." Beware those who get hung up on repetitive lyrics, because most of this album is about failed relationships. But instead of freshening up or glossing over depressing and angst-ridden lyrics, musically they shift gears and mix it up. They find a way to make it work, and the more I listen to this album the more I like it.

Already my number two album of 2006 behind Silversun Pickups and just ahead of another new Austin band, The Sound Team.
