Window Licker Records is excited to announce that Bruiser has signed on with the WLR family.  Here's a little history on the band:

Since their inception in 2005, Bruiser has electrified the city’s top music venues with pure high-energy rock.  Shows at the Empty Bottle...Double Door...Metro...have left crowds wanting more...

With a shimmering heap of intricate sound, Bruiser greeted Chicago’s alternative-rock scene by pummeling it square in the face.  With a mesmerizing ballet of eclectic percussion, intense vocals, demanding guitar riffs, and hypnotic bass lines, Bruiser collectively epitomizes the essence of rock.

Bruiser broke onto the Chicago music scene after Dan (guitar & vocals) and Clarke (bass) reorganized their former project and recruited Joe Daniels (Local H, Black Panels) to come into the studio to drum on an EP.  The product was tight and the fit was naturally seamless.  The collaboration  turned  out to be more than a one and done project--Bruiser emerged. After a two-year stint with Joe, Bruiser enlisted their current drummer, Chris Balagot, to continue the rock-a-torical onslaught.

Coupled with Bruiser‘s stellar stage performance and inherent ability to perpetuate its exhilaration upon any audience is the band’s unparalleled, innovatively created and structured tracks. In the Fall of 2006, Bruiser crafted the full-length album “Fantastic Theory” with Producer Steven Haigler (Fuel, As Tall As Lions, The Pixies, Quicksand, Local H) and the Former Chief Mastering Engineer for A&M Records, Dave Collins (Soundgarden, Q.O.T.S.A.,porno for Pyros).  In the Spring of 2008 Bruiser finished their second record RightBeforeTheStopAhead” and once again enlisted Steven Haigler to mix.  In Fall of 2009 Bruiser released a 6 song EP "I Sold Hand-Grenades To The Salvation Army" which is now available at the WLR online store.

Bruiser’s sound, style and technique, coupled with their unrivaled stage presence, revitalizes
what rock once represented, and what it will inevitably return to.
