Gig round-up: Testa Rosa re-gifts great songs at Shank
Milwaukee's Testa Rosa released one of the best records in Milwaukee in 2007, but were sadly silent in '08, aside from playing some gigs.

Testa Rosa's self-titled debut shimmers with melody
The songs on Testa Rosa's debut CD are amazingly accomplished pop tunes, with catchy melodies and dynamic arrangements. It's hard not to enthuse about a record that might be the best locally-issed disc in recent memory.
