Though festival season is now in full swing, it’s technically only been summer since Sunday morning. This past spring was bustling and fun, even though it took a while for the weather here in Milwaukee to start turning around for the better. It was also a season full of exceptional output from a wide variety of local musicians.
As we now officially say goodbye to spring and enjoy beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere, Milwaukee Record wanted to take a moment to acknowledge some of our favorite songs area artists released between mid-March and last week by putting together a “Spring 2026” Spotify playlist.
We should also take this opportunity to remind you that Spotify is a harmful platform that devalues music, decimates the environment, and doesn’t adequately compensate artists. So if you happen to enjoy anything on this playlist, we urge you to listen to more material from those artists, buy their music and other merch directly or on Bandcamp, and see them perform live. So long, spring, and thanks for all the great songs!
