Local/Live this week featured Milwaukee’s Devil Met Contention, a former solo project of band leader Ehson Rad.
Rad gathered up a solid crew to help him flesh out his songs filled with lots of Cash-esque swagger and Waits’-inspired gravel and growl. The band’s latest EP, American Times, is filled with twangy guitar and sneaky percussion, portraying its stories of boiling emotions, both blustery and sun-soaked, nicely.
Devil Met Contention played a bunch of these songs on that EP on Local/Live last night, here at the WMSE studios; enjoy a track from their session — “Used To Be” — below.
