Telethon

Telethon is a Milwaukee-based indie rock/power pop project led by songwriter Kevin Tully, blending scrappy energy with wry lyricism and narrative ambition. Since emerging in the mid-2010s, they've carved out a niche with concept-driven albums like *Hard Pop* (2021) and *Swim Out Past the Breakers* (2017), weaving earnest reflections on suburban ennui, existential dread, and personal growth into shout-along hooks and twinkling guitar riffs. Their DIY spirit shines through releases like *The Grand Spontaneation* and *Travelator*, which pair self-deprecating humor with unexpectedly lush arrangements nodding to ’90s alt-rock and punk-pop. Known for interlinking songs across records (see recurring character "Selfstarter") and delivering sweat-soaked live shows, Telethon balances big-hearted ambition with a grounded, every-underdog perspective perfect for fans of Jeff Rosenstock or The Weakerthans.
