Rock & Roll is not only a musical genre, but also describes a culture and life style, one that is in constant flux. For author J.L. Goodall, dreams come true for a little while. At least they do in "that carnival that is rock & roll. It’s an experience that invites you into its emotional centers, and when you come to, you find what you went through was better than where you are, so you go out again in search of that feeling of being alive."
We live our lives by
the philosophies of popular songs.

Those XCleavers, Terry Tanger
Reviews - by David Luhrssen

Sheperd-Express, Milwaukee

Those XCleavers were among the most entertaining and substantial bands from Milwaukee's new wave scene, and probably the most enduring. A reissue of choice material from the 1980's reveals their streamlined supercharged sound as part of their era, yet delivered so winningly that the music has dated hardly at all. One thing in their favor was the influence of ska and other Jamaican elements - a couple years before frat-boy bands began doing the same thing with less integrity. The songs have held up as well as the sound. Witness the solo outing by Cleavers singer Terry Tanger, who gives the new-wave chestnuts a Dylan folk guitar and harmonica treatment.
