Back in July 2015, IfIHadAHiFi and Body Futures drummer (and occasional Milwaukee Record contributor) DJ Hostettler announced an ambitious project called “Unintimidated: Wisconsin Musicians Against Scott Walker.” The project gathered more than a dozen Wisconsin bands—most of them of the punk- and noise-rock variety—and gave them each a two-hour block of recording time at Howl Street Recordings to create a new song voicing their displeasure with the divisive Gov. Walker. Earlier this year, Hostettler and company began releasing individual songs and videos from the project; now, the entire kit and caboodle is available to stream online, giving you the perfect opportunity to whistle along to such ditties as “Three Point Program To Destroy Wisconsin” and “Scott Walker, You’re A Piece Of Shit.”
The 16-track comp—featuring songs from Haunted Heads, Volunteer, Holy Shit!, Heavy Hand, Testa Rosa, Hostettler’s bands, and more—can be streamed below. A physical CD/DVD/zine package is also available for $20, with proceeds going to Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin and various Milwaukee soup kitchens.
