What Made Milwaukee FamousBiography"Wistful and happy-go lucky, brooding and slapstick, hopelessly sentimental and chronically enigmatic, Trying to Never Catch Up succeeds on terms of its own devising. It's challenging in the best sense of the word because it raises the bar for every band with whom What Made Milwaukee Famous shares a stage." - 4 of 5 stars, the Austin Chronicle "I dont know a whole lot about this Austin based band. But you dont really need to know a whole lot when the music speaks as loudly as their debut LP does. These are 11 songs that will have any fan of The Wrens, Namelessnumberheadman or The Shins up in a tizzy. These are well-crafted pop gems that shimmer brighter than most of the pop albums out this year." - IndieWorkshop.com "As a stand-alone album, Trying Never To Catch Up is an upbeat collection of all your favorite pop and indie-pop signifiers: The Beatles, Radiohead, The Wrens and Namelessnumberheadman all shuffle in, at some point, to rear their heads. As an audition for an indie label contract, its even better. You could easily see someone like Absolutely Kosher, Barsuk or even Sub Pop putting out their next long player and all the kids lauding the rarely heard debut because of those MP3s they downloaded a few weeks before. Get up on it, before they get up on The OC and you have to lie to your friends that you knew them way back when." - Stylus Magazine "What Made Milwaukee Famous are mixing up elements of all different genres and creating their own sonic smoothie. They go from loud to soft to sensitive to detached quite quickly-and, it must be said, quite effortlessly. It's melodic, it's smart, it's intelligent, and it sounds like everything you probably like and nothing you've probably heard." - Mundane Sounds
