So our friends over at
The Tripwire think
Maritime is the third best export from Milwaukee, sliding Miller Lite and The Brewers slightly ahead of
Davey von Bohlens crew. As a true blue, life-long Cubs fan (only 4.5 back, by the way), there is just no possible way I can justify this obvious slight. I am officially bumping the band up to #2, ahead of the boozy brew crew (who have lost 3 and a row, by the way), but still behind Miller Lite (I kind of enjoy beer).
However, one thing we are in congruence with our
Tripwire friends is how totally turned on we are to hear that
Maritime will release their third album,
Heresy And The Hotel Choir (
Flameshovel Records) on October 16th. Produced by
Stuart Sikes (The White Stripes, Modest Mouse, Cat Power, etc), the album will mark the first collaborative effort between all members of the band. -
