Hailing from Milwaukee, Thick Needles brings a jagged, high-voltage energy to the Midwest rock scene. The vocal performance carries the sneering, theatrical DNA of Iggy Pop, but the instrumental backing tilts heavily into a gritty, grunge-rock flair that thrives on attitude more than reinvention. While the sound doesn’t radically reshape the genre, it’s executed with enough conviction to feel intentional rather than derivative. Thick Needles understands the power of presence—leaning into distortion, bravado, and rough edges to create a visceral listening experience. It’s rock music that values energy and grit, best enjoyed loud and without overthinking the lineage.
