The Milwaukees
Angel with a Knife (Boss Tuneage)By:
Mike SOS The Milwaukees play with the kind of anguish that you'd find on any '90s alternative band's album, yet there's a lucid songwriting thread that puts this New Jersey quartet in a classic rock slot. Such a dichotomy comprises interesting compositions, like the driving yet un-noisy "Lighthouse Signals", sounding like a glimmering, stripped down version of Quicksand. Despite the short length of
Angel with a Knife, these five tracks are good indicators that this outfit has a lot more solid songs full of well-directed angst left in its arsenal.
