ANDO EHLERS

Death Polka is the demented offspring that formed from the sacred union of punk, folk, metal, sacred harp singing and bluegrass. Your life will be better if you choose to embrace Death Polka.

“Death Polka is a new genre to me but evidently has found a home in the dark recesses of Milwaukee, Wisconsin to which the keeper of it’s sacred flame is Ando Ehlers. Just as with the existing Polkacore, POPka, and Indie Beardie Polk movements springing up out of the southwest, middlewest, and eastwestwest of the country; Ehlers is keeping it real with a passion and zeal not seen by some since early Stooges-era Iggy Pop. Fans of earlier work by The Decemberists should also take notice of his articulate lyricism laid over the skillfully placed angelic tones of Ehlers’ accordian.”
-Chip Copeland – Sock Monkey Sound

S.S. WEB

Hailing from the booze-soaked, frozen tundra of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, S.S. Web fuses elements of Folk, Punk, Americana, Rock, and Country into a style all their own. For the better part of 7 years S.S. Web has been plying their trade, honing their skills as musicians and songwriters. They self released their debut album, “North”, in 2011 and released it’s follow up, “1933”, in 2013 through Wayward Parade Records.
Taking to the road like marauding pirates take to the sea S.S. Web has played countless shows from coast to coast, bringing the party and a glorious racket wherever they go, making new fans and friends at every stop.
2014 sees the band heading back out on the road, writing and recording material for a new record, and continuing to establish themselves as one of the premier bands in a burgeoning underground roots scene.
