Heathrow

For nearly 10 years, Milwaukee's Heathrow has been walking a fine line between '90s Britpop and a softer, Midwestern type of sound. Their debut, 2003's critically noted Listening Class, was a throwback to the "Lips Like Sugar" days of sharp, melancholic guitar pop. This June the group released their second full-length album, the confidently titled World Opinion Is With Us. Borrowing ambient feel-good rhythm from Coldplay and the softer side of the United Kingdom scene, World Opinion sees the Milwaukee anglophiles further polishing their peppy afternoon-drive pop. Tonight the group splits a 10 p.m. bill at Points East Pub with Javelinas.
