Black Puddle Noise/Appleseeds

The thick and volatile sound of Black Puddle Noise explodes with such force that it's probable tonight's show will register on the Richter scale. The trio of hard rockers plays its songs with an unstoppable velocity. Dense guitar riffs accompany lightening fast drumming in tracks like "Bottle Rocket." While the group plays all fast and furious, it doesn’t just present a wall of sound; the band pays attention to detail. With Milwaukee natives Appleseeds, tonight's show will be nothing short of high energy. (Patrick Stoops)
