BRAT SOUNDS WAS BORN FIVE YEARS AGO WHEN THEIR FORMER GROUP, DINNY BULCA, ADDED A MEMBER (AND CHANGED THEIR NAME). SINCE, BRAT SOUNDS HAS BEEN BUSY CRAFTING ELEMENTS OF POWER POP AND PUNK FROM A BASEMENT IN RIVERWEST. THEIR LATEST RELEASE, BAD LUCK, IS THE RESULT OF THEIR BASEMENT DWELLINGS.

MATT WILD OF MILWAUKEE RECORD WRITES – “[A] SNARKY-BUT-SENTIMENTAL STREAK IS PAR FOR THE COURSE ON BAD LUCK…OPENER “SYSTEMATICALLY BROKEN” IS A FRANTIC AND FUZZED-OUT ROCKER THAT LIVES UP TO ITS TITLE; “MOTORTREND” CHANGES GEARS AND DELIVERS A GORGEOUS MEDITATION ON “THE PRECIOUS LITTLE TIME THAT WE HAVE”; AND “SOIL” EQUATES SETTLING DOWN WITH DYING AND RETURNING TO THE EARTH.”

BRAT SOUNDS VISIT THE WMSE STUDIOS ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 28TH TO SERVE UP A SLICE OF THEIR POWERED-UP MELODIC PUNK MEDITATIONS ON LIFE – WMSE.ORG TO STREAM THE SHOW LIVE OR IN THE ARCHIVES OR SIMPLY TUNE YOUR RADIO TO 91.7 FM AT THE 6 O’ CLOCK HOUR.
