The Download

What Made Milwaukee Famous doesn’t hail from Wisconsin, and it doesn’t include any of the cast from Laverne & Shirley. The Austin, Texas, indie rockers, who originally called themselves Beer, borrowed their name from the bibulous, depressing hit that made a fool out of Jerry Lee Lewis in 1968. WMMF’s sophomore album, What Doesn’t Kill Us, doesn’t hit stores until next month, but you can score the first single, “Resistance St.,” free at the band’s page on the Barsuk label’s site. The track is quite a bit moodier than the outfit’s previous power-pop offerings, but isn’t that often the case with cheap brews?
