HOLIDAY SALE AT THE ONION STORE

Artist Cougar Den

“Cougar den” is a term used by young, Axe-spraying man-sharks to describe a bar full of overeager, alluringly desperate older women. Milwaukee screamo outfit Cougar Den probably wasn’t going for that connotation when it started playing basement shows around town in 2005. Rather, the unruly trio must have intended to equate itself with a roomful of wild cougars, and that description definitely applies. Last year Cougar Den released its debut full-length, Keepondrifter, which was recorded at Howl Street Recordings with Shane Hochstetler.
