Eric Blowtorch has been rocking the Milwaukee crowd as a musician and DJ for nearly 30 years, playing punk, post-punk, ska, soul, reggae and more. As he hones the tracks for his latest full-length record on Milwaukee's South Side, he issues his best work to date. "Salt Water" is a hard-hitting reggae track with a deep, heavy bass sound and just about the best reggae mix Brew City has ever unleashed.
