Hot Milk Release Radar: A Call to the Void
Hot Milk is a band that has been on my radar ever since the Manchester, England-based punk rockers graced Tito’s at Lollapalooza in 2022. That they are on my radar should be of no surprise to anyone who has followed Betsy and I’s list of artist spotlights. Seeing as pop-punkers that border on emo, from…

Letdown.: Artist Spotlight Summerfest 2023
We scrambled to find food before Letdown who was playing a 7:30 set. It was, after all, dinner time. Although we were familiar with Summerfest’s grounds, as this was our 3rd day at the fest, we still had yet to find a food place that seemed to be the right fit for us. Wandering around…

Our final day of Summerfest started with some Country Music. Despite being someone who doesn’t often listen to country, I had heard of Hailey Whitters and was excited to see her perform. Before Hailey Whitters took the Connection Stage fellow country singer Greylan James had performed there, and most people stayed put. After looking at…

UPSAHL: Artist Spotlight Lollapalooza 2023
Considering it was a 1:15 set on the last day of Lollapalooza 2023, August 6, UPSAHL really got our day started with some energized dance music. Her set was on the Bud Light stage and with a little help from voiceovers and sound effects, her upbeat music really delivered. Although dance pop usually, at least…

Spitalfield: Artist Spotlight Summerfest 2023
It isn’t every day you stumble into the revival and return of a band that you have never heard of before. But when Spitalfield, a punk rock band from Chicago, hit the Warehouse Stage after Spin Doctors that was exactly what I got. The pop-punk verging on emo group, who would easily sound at home…
