Milwaukees, The
"American Anthems, Vol. 1"

Released in 2007

The Milwaukees is a band from Jersey City, New Jersey. They comes out blasting on this terrific record with "Moonshaker" and follow with one great song after another. This is the type of album you'll listen to and wonder why you never heard these songs on the radio. It came in at #40 in my list of the Top 100 Albums by New Jersey Artists from 2001-2010.

Here are two more tracks to check out
