***BACK IN STOCK!!! GOODNIGHT LOVING have become a Milwaukee institution, but unlike Laverne and Shirley or Pabst Blue Ribbon, they're still here adding to their legend. The Goodnight Loving Supper Club is another milestone in that legend, expanding on their already classic sound of country-and folk-laced rock ‘n roll by forging headlong into psychedelia, surf, spaghetti western, and anything else exotic enough to send your neurons into an electrified dance of pop induced pleasure. With this their new album, GOODNIGHT LOVING follow in the footsteps of The Great American Rock & Roll Bands (ie. CCR, The Hawks, Crazy Horse, Big Star, The Replacements et al.), re-imagining the conventions of our native rock n' roll in a way that's both fresh and timeless. The Goodnight Loving Supper Club is the band’s first recording as a four piece, yet the sonic landscape they paint is more lush and nuanced than ever.

Nothing Conquers Us

***“Soulful, energetic alt-country / garage / Americana / whatever from hard-touring, crazy-prolific basement Milwaukee punk kids. Inventive songwriting with a depth and diversity of influence that belies these guys' relatively young ages. Two new songs from one of our very favorite bands in the current American underground. Seriously, we listen to at least one (often more) of their three albums just about every day here at Dirtnap HQ. We've wanted to do something with this band for years, but the stars have never aligned until just now. One of the most underrated bands we can think of, these guys really should be huge.”—Ken (Dirtnap)
