Salinas Records, Bloated Kat Records – 18 Jul 2025
While many cities make their mark on the music scene, there’s something about Minneapolis and the Twin Cities area that does something special. Maybe it’s the water in all those lakes?
Enter Visual Learner and their debut LP, Greg. I’m not gonna say that this has that 80s multi-genre punk vibe and you could imagine Visual Learner playing a gig with Hüsker Dü but, yeah… that’s what I’m saying. It’s really good.
