What Handsome Men are a modern rock band formed in Madison, WI. Coming off the heels of their recently released EP,  Your Heart is Racing, the band consists of Matt Rogers (vocals), George Kutterna (guitar), Ian Hussey (bass), Ryan Basse (guitar), and Connor Peterson (drums). Described as "spicy, yet refined" by an anonymous source, the band is continuing to search for their sound as they start to craft their first full album. 

20 Minute Mission is a trio that calls Madison, WI home. Winner of the 2022 Best Rock Performer at the Madison Area Music Association's awards. With diverse influences and playing styles, the group has brought an unique and refreshing aspect to punk rock/post-punk/alt rock music by meshing styles and abandoning stylistic dogma. Not confined by established roles, the members of the band actively switch instruments from song to song and this shows in the diversity of sound that is 20 Minute Mission.

Drawing from their previous work: Mike (various regional bands from Buffalo), Steve (Billingsgate-from Chicago) and Joel (Rhinelander-from Milwaukee) have now all landed in Madison, WI and have combined their tastes and abilities into something that is their own. Not letting Covid detour them, 20MM has recorded two EPs while in their bubble; the first was a self-titled, 8 song CD released in the summer of 2020 and "Down on Ruskin St" released at the end of February 2021. The song 29 Palms, off of the self titled first EP, came in at #7 in Maximum Inks, New Year Eve poll of the top 41 songs for 2020 in southern Wisconsin. They were finalists in 7 categories for the 2022 Madison Area Music Association awards, winning best rock performer.

Look for their 3rd album in the spring of 2023
