Die Kruezen: Milwaukee's Hidden Punk Pioneers [Episode 314]Update: 2025-08-25
Description
Imagine a band so raw, so revolutionary, that they could redefine punk and hardcore without most people ever knowing their name. Die Kreuzen wasn't just another local punk band - they were musical alchemists who transformed underground rock in ways most musicians could only dream about. In this episode, author Sahan Jayasuriya takes us through the band's origins, sonic evolution, and massive influence on the forthcoming 90s alt-rock/grunge rock movement of the 90s.
