Hailing from Milwaukee Wisconsin, Mark Waldoch of The Hallelujah Ward have this ability to release music that takes so many pieces of what we all grew up listening to. I mentioned one of his songs had "a great deal of "The Wedding Present " in it, " and Mark's response was "Yeah, but Dave Gedge isn't coming to me for any money."

We talked about the songwriting, Polka, the Wisconsin music culture, and everything else you could imagine. Mark was even once the guitar tech for Peter Hook for a single gig.

No task is too small, nothing seems out of reach for the music they want to make, The Hallelujah Ward makes music for the love of making music. The new album "Everybody Swoons" is a powerful skateboarding adventure of the music-scape all of us grew up with. And he is a pretty funny guy.
