Milwaukee's Call Me Lightning has joined French Kiss Records. The band features past/current members of Akarso, Haymarket Riot, Managra, Tintoretto, and Hero Of 100 Fights and previously relesed The Trouble We're In on Revelation.

The band was described in 2004 as "the best of Jesus Lizard, early Rye Coalition, Gang of Four and Talking Heads all wrapped up in one frenetic package."

You can check out some music on their myspace page.

But are they as good as the Plastic Constellations?

eleanora (May 31, 2006)

Yes. Yes they are.

Someone (May 31, 2006)

Managra is the best band ever.

Someone (May 31, 2006)

Revelation didn't seem to know what to do with them, so Frenchkiss seems like a far better fit. And the new Call Me Lightning material is fucking awesome. Can't wait for a new record.

Call Me Lightning rules. One fo the best in Wisconsin.
