Local Live | Wmse

Milwaukee’s CTT’s debut self-titled album spins tales of the desperate road, convenience store trysts, Rust Belt anthems and memoirs of unbridled lonesome success. Equal parts punk, blues, country and metal instill the tracks with a mix of elements true to the experience of a Mack truck crashing into a fast food drive-thru for after show catering. The band idea was formed by a tequila-soaked Carlo Santiago who instructed the other members that they were to join his band or suffer the consequences of missed opportunity to rock the heck out. Within a few months, the band recorded their debut and have been wrenching audiences ever since.
