Fragile is a fantastic local band from WI. Their style combines well crafted rock music with beautiful string arrangements. Fragile have just finished their debut album, "This Land Will Be Civilized" where they were fortunate enough to work with the legendary David Bottrill and Bob Ludwig.
Thank you Chauncey Marrier for being one of our favorite clients. The record rocks!

Another cold month and another great local Artist of the Month and Schroeder loyals: The Bitter Wigs.
"..The Bitter Wigs are a recently formed power trio. They harbor roots steeped in early 70’s simplicity, but with an eye fixed on the future. Kinetic creativity is the band's musical credo, while infusing relevant lyrical content..."
Thanks for the business, Josh. That Bassman is killer!
Check them out Feb 4 at the Double Door. Listen here.

"Beyond Words is an original alternative rock group based out of the Chicagoland area. In the short period of three years, the band has gone from local venues to national shows with national touring artists such as Seether, Hurt, Red, Cavo, Egypt Central, Pop Evil, Rev Theory, and Clutch. The band has a distinct style of mainstream guitar melodies and a strong lead vocalist. Real-life experiences fuel the heart-felt lyrics and melodies are influenced by all genres of rock and nu metal."
Best of luck to BW on their new album and thank you for being great Schroeder Guitar & Amp Repair clients!
