“Since the group’s beginning in early 2012, The New Seven has gone through a range of personnel before arriving at it’s final form. This influenced their style heavily, moving from bluegrass, to folk, to jazz infused rock. This transformation may be why The New Seven has been described as having an incredible range of energy and dynamics, and such a captivating eclectic sound.”

“Highs and lows.. extreme to fragile. It’s hard to put a genre on this kind of music. Is this why we should be excited about The New Seven? Absolutely.” ~ Local Playlist

interview: OQ
Jan 22 @ 1:00 pm – 1:30 pm

Tune into WMSE for an interview with new Milwaukee duo, OQ.

Though OQ hasn’t played a show yet, many Wisconsin music aficionados are likely aware of the group’s musical affiliations. The self-described “creative duo” consists of Liam O’Brien (of Holy Sheboygan! and namesake of Liam O’Brien’s Faithless Followers) and Cole Quamme (of The Fatty Acids). The project became connected to PEOPLE through Mike Noyce while he and Josh Evert (The Fatty Acids, Silver City Studios) were finishing OQ’s first EP at Vernon’s April Base recording studio.

OQ is officially a duo, but its members called on a wealth of Milwaukee musicians to contribute on the project’s forthcoming EP, Paradice 1. Players and vocalists involved in the recording process include Evert, Noyce, Ivan Eisenberg, Alex Heaton, Treccy Marquardt-Thomas, D’Amato, Caley Conway, Ms. Lotus Fankh, Derek De Vinney, Steven Strupp, Carmen Quinliven, Sarah Shay, Caley, John Larkin, Ian Olvera, Alex Scott, and Hesper Juhnke.

The band will make its live debut and release the five-song EP at Company Brewing on Saturday, January 26. Quamme will also screen and release a “visual album” at the show.

interview: Rose Of The West
Apr 3 @ 1:00 pm – 1:30 pm

Tune into Squid Inc. on WMSE’s Local Lunchbox segment to hear all about Rose Of The West’s debut album, which is being released later that week on April 5th on Communicating Vessels Records. The Milwaukee band has a show that weekend to celebrate – catch all the details on the Mighty 91!

Rose of the West loosely threads dark and brooding strands throughout its newest songs to bind its temperate-but-temperamental style of pop. The result is a beautifully structured, soft-blooming, Technicolor Lynchian dreamscape with just the right amount of sparkle amidst the dark shadows to catch the eye. Are you awake or still sleeping? Are these thoughts your own or are they driven by the characters who populate your dreams?

Driving these hazy dream-currents of music are frosty synths, radiant warmth from guitar and piano, nimble bass lines and a tempestuous, gutsy kick from clear-cut percussion. Rose of the West leader, Gina Barrington, brings it all together with her crystalline-but-sultry vocals, twisting and turning lyrics over like talismans. And no matter how dark, Barrington’s most desolate words always seem to hold the possibility of turning those single sparks into bright flames.

7 SECONDS
Spotify | Facebook
Formed in the early ’80s, the hardcore punk band 7 Seconds has been among the longest lived of any group from the first wave of Cali punk (forming in Reno, NV, and eventually relocating to Sacramento), though frontman Kevin Seconds has proved to be the only consistent member. Changes during the mid-’80s moved guitarist Bobby Adams, drummer Troy Mowat, and bassist Steve Youth (Kevin’s brother) into the lineup. The group released several 7″ singles just after forming, and signed to the Better Youth Organization label by 1982. The three LPs released on BYO culminated in 7 Seconds’ most authoritative album, Walk Together, Rock Together. Signed to Restless in the late ’80s, 7 Seconds delivered Soulforce Revolution and Ourselves before moving again to Headhunter. The band released three albums for Headhunter, but signed with their first major label, Epic, in 1995. The Music, the Message was 7 Seconds’ first Epic LP, released in 1995. By 1999’s Good to Go, however, the band was back on the indie front, now releasing material through the Side 1 label. In mid-2000, they released Scream Real Loud, followed five years later by their 13th LP, Take It Back, Take It On, Take It Over!

NEGATIVE APPROACH
