Formed in 2009, Of The Fact is a pop punk four piece who cut their teeth in central Wisconsin, a place lacking in a strong local music scene. However lacking the scene may be, they thrived, and released their first EP, fittingly titled Big Plans For A Small Town, in the summer of 2013. Two … More Review: “Adjust.” by Of The Fact
Artist of the Week Interview: Alexander Jay
August 5, 2015

Artist of the Week: Bentley920 Interview
July 22, 2015
Wisconsin doesn’t seem to be a likely place to foster hip-hop artists, it would seem that to find any sort of talent you’d need to go down to Chicago at the very least. Milwaukee has churned out some good artists like Klassik or WebsterX, but outside that Wisconsin would seem to be a veritable rap … More Artist of the Week: Bentley920 Interview
