Vinyl Theatre, an alt-pop band from Milwaukee, recently released their newest, entitled “Starcruiser” and are now on tour to promote the release.

Singer/guitarist Keegan Calmes says, “Starcruiser to us has been a journey of self-discovery and human resilience. Each song comes from a heartfelt and personal place and weaves its way through our lives and the lives of our family and friends. Through the caverns of anxiety and depression to the mountainous heights of victory and elation. This record wouldn’t be what it is without this tour and the inverse is just as true. This year we bring to you our best version of Vinyl Theatre we could create. We hope to see you at an upcoming show and we cannot wait to give you the full-length record we’ve been working on.”

You can catch them on Oct. 29 at Crowbar.

For all of the nihilism and pessimism we might be associated with, I hope the album provides more ways to connect with others.”
