Cheaper than booze. Younger than Dylan. Funnier than a funeral. It's a bird -- it's a plane -- it's Union Pulse. The energy at Union Pulse's live performances is more important than the notes on the recordings. Whether it's a dingy bar or a county fair, these boys are good company.

Since 2001, with contributions from over twenty band members ranging from Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois Union Pulse has grown from one man's desire to create good music into a musical force worth reckoning with. Despite (or because of) all this eclectic input over the years Union Pulse has stayed true to exploring founding member James Redding's passion for music and performance. Currently made up of James Redding (vocals, guitar), Ryan Eckert (bass, vocals), and Jed Hanson (drums), Union Pulse is a band that projects the undeniable energy of true musicians... see for yourselves at one of their many performances throughout the midwest.

Raw emotional rock music without the irony of indie, the sometimes-defeatism of emo, or the chest-pounding of hard rock, Milwaukee's Union Pulse is best described as delivering simple, honest, and straightforward music that is unafraid to both kick or whisper.
