Get weird and wiggly with new Scrimshaw record, ‘Whisk My Soupy’

Matt Wild
November 18, 2024

// There's no other Milwaukee band like Scrimshaw. Hell, there may be no other band anywhere like Scrimshaw. The delightfully weirdo art-rock band has been kicking it for more than a decade now, releasing alb...

Put on your (orthopedic) dancing shoes for Scrimshaw’s “Hoopula” video
