2024 was full of incredible releases by a ton of bands. There was a lot to cover, too much, in fact, for one guy with a full time job. But I wanted to at least drop a list of great new music from Wisconsin bands for you to investigate yourself. It's easy--just click the link and listen to some music. Build your own collection of digital music. Make your own playlists. Free yourself from the algorithm. Support local artists.
