The Delta Routine, Hero Jr., and We Are Your Father at The Hotel Foster
Milwaukee’s The Delta Routine emulates the sound and swagger of old-school Rolling Stones, and while its attempts at swaggering blues-rock don’t result in anything new on 2011’s More About You, it is, at the very least, a really fun record. “Ain’t Worth Your Wait” is an effective New York Dolls-style glam stomp, and channels both that group and the later solo work of guitarist Sylvain Sylvain. Other tracks find the group practically spelling out its influences in neon: “Cause We’re Young” nicks the opening guitar riff of The Who’s “I Can’t Explain,” while “And It Goes” borrows the rough shuffle of The Strokes’ “Someday.” The group’s new album, Cigarettes & Caffeine Nightmares—which sees its official release at tonight’s show—is a big step up from More About You, and the gritty, rousing, sing-along title track alone should solidify The Delta Routine’s reputation as one of Milwaukee’s top-tier bar bands.
