Banana Clip
RIYL: Grinderman, Retribution Gospel Choir, The Stooges, MDC, The Dicks, Black Flag
Banana Clip is an absurdist exercise against authority. Nathaniel Heuer of Hello Death, Group of the Altos, and a host of other Milwaukee bands created the project as an outlet for the louder, angrier songs that the state of the world almost demanded he make. Rejecting the idea that a society can function under a disingenuous democracy where profiteers, corporate apologists, and religious zealots dictate policy, Heuer enlisted longtime collaborator Todd Umhoefer of Old Earth, as well as Marielle Allschwang and Adam Krause, who are already his bandmates and collaborators in Group of the Altos, Marielle Allschwang & The Visitations, and Hello Death. Together, they send all the right noise at all the right targets.
