Their track &#8220;We&#8217;re Coming to Your Party&#8221; is a punk party jam for sure and has a catchy tune that you may find yourself singing to. The track &#8220;Bitch&#8221; really shows Amy&#8217;s influence from the punk band Sleater-Kinney with her lyrics and tone. &#8220;Youth In Revolt&#8221; brings the Vibe of the Ramones and the Dead Kennedys and also is the only track in the demo where Amy is not the lead on vocals. &#8220;Wish You&#8217;d Come Back&#8221; shows the more emotional side of the band and also shows Amy&#8217;s more soulful sound.We are excited to see what this 4 piece band comes up with next!<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0; width: 400px; height: 274px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2402163097\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=de270f\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http:\/\/awktopus.bandcamp.com\/album\/we-made-a-demo\">We Made A Demo by Awktopus<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week we are highlighting a new punk band out of Milwaukee; Awktopus has just released their 4 track demo to\u00a0bandcamp. \u00a0The band is mad up of Amy (our station manager) on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Ben on lead guitar and vocals, Josh on drums, and Conner on the bass.
