Kat and the Hurricane is a genre- and gender-bending trio from right here in Madison, WI. Their unique blend of pop and haunting indie rock has earned them 7 Madison Area Music Association awards, including Artist of the Year 2023. Their newest single “Caffeine & Alcohol” showcases a push towards a bolder pop-punk/rock sound paired with greater emotional depth – something at the same time raw and polished, fresh and relatable, uninhibited yet controlled – and signals even more experimentation in the band’s future.
