The Shepherd Setlist is a collaboration between the Shepherd Express and Milwaukee music website, Breaking And Entering.
Tigera – “The Calm Before”
Pop rockers Tigera dropped a new single at the end of May. This tune broods with profound anticipation before erupting into an emotive breakup song that ruminates on the pain and shame of inevitable confrontation. Tigera demonstrate a keen ability to take a universally difficult situation and make a shoutable hook out of it, which is certainly the tried-and-true formula for “The Calm Before.” Stay tuned for their next single this month.

BLAX – “Intelligent Beings”
BLAX’s latest music video for “Intelligent Beings” features a sample-based beat infused with a distinctive funk essence, providing a unique backdrop for BLAX’s conscious and thought-provoking lyrics. In collaboration with Thousand Clicks Media, the video takes on an artistic approach by immersing BLAX into the vibrant atmosphere of The Daily Bird coffee shop in Riverwest. BLAX seamlessly transitions between various roles, embodying both patrons and employees of the establishment while performing the track. (Allen Halas)
Wolves With Virginia – “Dust Bowl”
Desert-surf rockers Wolves With Virginia have their official debut single and video out. Directed by Joe Ludwig, the visual finds the boys happily meeting up with each other after a hard day’s work, but then a woman walks by. They each start pursuing her and trying to win her attention before it leads to them fighting over her. While all of this is going on, a dust storm starts brewing in the background which sweeps the woman away, but the unfazed boys just keep beating each other up. “Dust Bowl” is a fun, creative introduction to Wolves With Virginia and we can’t wait to hear more from them soon (Ben Slowey)
PeezSW – “TMS (Poppin’ With It)”
PeezSW is back with his first single and video ahead of forthcoming album About Damn Time 2. Directed by himself and Gonzales Visuals, the scene finds the Camp Shuttlesworth rapper out in the streets and riding around with his crew between clips of him performing at various venues. PeezSW knows what’s his for the taking with bars to demonstrate a commanding presence and immense ambition, showing that he’s ready to win with the work put in to back it all up. PeezSW eagerly awaits his time to shine. Stay tuned for About Damn Time 2 out soon. (Ben Slowey)
