Wisconsin Anger Team are from (duh!) Wisconsin, which my foreign brain somehow always misspells as Winsconsin. Their new album is called Beyond the Everest Crater II and it follows Beyond the Everest Crater I. It was recorded between February and May of this year, and these cuts are as fresh as they sound neat. Wisconsin Anger Team play altpop infused punk rock that is noisy enough to scare away a mainstream audience but sufficiently melodic to become a new favorite band of outsiders who like their pop music hidden beneath loud guitars and fast drumming, their hooks huge yet unpolished. Do you love Hüsker Dü at its most melodic – think Don’t Want To Know If You Are Lonely? Do you love Green Day’s 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours? Do you like Neutral Milk Hotel? If a mix of those three sounds good, you will probably like this one.
I always try to include two or three songs in my posts as gateway songs for new listeners. It’s usually a good sign when I can’t decide which ones to share. This is that kind of record.
