The Delta Routine, Kane Place Record Club, and Mutts at Linneman's
It wasn’t all that long ago that poppy, blues-infused garage-rock blared forth from every 30 GB MP3 player in the country. Bands like The Hives, The Vines, and other “The” groups saturated the mainstream music landscape, all of them dutifully worshiping at the temple that The White Stripes and The Strokes built. Milwaukee’s The Delta Routine missed that first round of retro-revival, but it has no qualms about arriving to the party a decade too late. On its third full-length album, Cigarettes & Caffeine Nightmares, the band serves up 11 fat-free slices of hooky, slithery, and perfectly pitched tunes that wouldn’t be out of place in the early ’00s—or the ’70s that inspired those early ’00s. It’s an unabashedly enjoyable collection from one of Milwaukee’s most unabashedly populist bands.
