Dan Dieterich, founder of Brainerd, is a man who is not afraid of getting in touch with the darker side of life. If you are aware of Madison, Wisconsin's musical history, chances are you've heard of this band. Recently signed by Zodiac Killer Records, their third album approaches. Called simply, The Goat Album, Dieterich says that Brainerd plays deathpunk and has congealed into a unique sound. He describes their first album, There's No Eye in Pussy as an amalgamation of sound that ranges from traditional punk to rockabilly. We came together more on our second album 'Animal Mother'. That was more grindy. Fans who come out to hear our latest music can be assured that they will receive a hearty dose of high-powered, high-energy rock n roll party music.
