Cartilage Party
While Milwaukee’s ever-expanding underground music scene has truly blessed the city with a wealth of incredible music, the sheer amount of great bands leads to some groups being unfairly swept under the carpet. Cartilage Party, the apocalyptic prog-meets-post-punk outfit, is unfortunately one of those groups. While every member of the band plays in other outfits—two members in Spur And The Long Lost, and two in BzyBodies—the chemistry of Cartilage Party poses a serious threat. The band pits pitch-perfect drum and bass grooves up against frenetically dissonant guitar playing and demonic vocals in a battle to the death where everyone manages to live (despite being horribly injured). CP applies this diametric approach to the songwriting stage as well, laying out swashes of psychedelic noise that mixes with the catchiest bass riffs in town.
