..PRESS..
"”What Doesn’t Kill Us” exemplifies the rococo ideal that no pop filigree will go unused. Is this a bad thing? I think not. New wavisms turn up alongside the kind of ’70s power ballads that shamed many, but serve as a suitably ironic backdrop for Michael Kingcaid’s easy lead vocals (although when he pulls out the stops… watch out! He’s one of rock’s overlooked vocal commandos)." - Los Angeles Times

""Bonnaroo's opening night tends to be about discovery, more than anything else. With the two biggest stages dark, a slew of eager, smaller bands hit the tent stages, and equally eager concertgoers, undoubtedly stoked to not be waiting in a car on the side of a highway, sop up the sets in droves. One of those early sets came from Texas' What Made Milwaukee Famous, and despite a few Wisconsinites having attended the set to see what they assumed to be fellow cheeseheads, the crowd was pretty bowled over. Take a look: http://www.spinmagazine.com/articles/bonnaroo-reviewed-what-made-milwaukee-famous." - SPIN.com

"Surrounded by shifting, muted post-punk guitar chords and minor-key keyboard twinkling, vocalist/guitarist Michael Kingcaid croons through lo-fi sheen, "Hey, weren't you told / How brutal life can be?" before the rest of the band rips into a soaring, guitar-and-saxophone-laden build up." - SPIN.com

"Guitar muscle, ferocious drumming, commanding vocals, and hook-laden tunes: no sophomore slump here. Austin’s What Made Milwaukee Famous took its time with the follow-up to its 2004 debut, and it was a wise move." - Texas Monthly


but, you should listen for yourselves and decide. if we happen to be heading your way, please come out and see us.

thanks,
WMMF
