Would You Kindly?

Iowan pop-punk group Would You Kindly? brings the best traditions of the genre to their home base of Sioux City. The vocals of frontman Henry Milner recall the snotty, devil-may- care attitude of their punk forebears, but are tinged with a mild desperation that conveys the singer’s depth of feeling. The band coats the rough core of their sound with melodic interludes, revealing their art rock influences. Certain tracks even veer into the territories of jazz and ska before being brought back to earth by the Milner’s heartfelt lyrics. Effectively combining the accessibility of pop and the artfulness of post-punk, the band’s future looks bright.

Billy Boy Drive Thru
“This place has serious nostalgia factor working for them. They opened in 1962 and have managed to hold on to that old school vibe. They’re a friendly, family-run operation and the food is cheap but good. Billy Boy offers no pretenses and that’s precisely what makes it so damn good. Try the chili dogs, pizza burger, and onion chips and dip.. you can’t go wrong.” - Would You Kindly?
