Punchy, punky power pop from Milwaukee, Phylum Phyloid is the garage rock band’s first LP. Infused with 60′s surf, it’s super extra bubbly fun and highly danceable. Though it’s been awhile since we’ve seen them – and probably awhile since they’ve played out, too – they’re really fun live (we last caught Phylums at Anodyne in MKE in 2018). My top tracks on Phylum Phyloid are the opener “Can’t Get Through,” “Cold Coffee” (the video, linked below, is adorable and features the now-shuttered Fuel Cafe in Riverwest at the start), “Route 66″ (not a cover but has a definite wink-and-nod to the original), “Time Capsule” and the ode to the household appliance: “Vacuum Cleaner.”

They don’t play out much and haven’t released anything in awhile, but their melodic and harmonic 60′s inspired twangy garage punk was super-upbeat and fun…unlike Greg Ashley, who plays solo acoustic guitar and has some of the most wrist-cutting level of depressing songs I’ve heard.

We made it through most of Ashley’s set but I was literally falling asleep and starting to feel sick (turns out it wasn’t his music but probably what I ate for dinner) so we had to leave before seeing Space Raft, another Milwaukee band on Dusty Medical that I really like. Fortunately Space Raft does perform quite a bit – and is working on a new album – so I’ll get to see them again soon.
