Sounds Like: The Swinos play big, raw, fast, wall-of-sound rock inspired by punk, psychobilly, honky-tonk, the most bombastic 70's rock, alcohol (all flavors), and their own fucked-up sense of humor.Spawned from the swampiest regions of Kitsap County, WA, they've spent the past five years spreading the gospel of Swinification throughout the Northwest, courtesy of their must-see live shows & rowdy, sweaty, hi-octane FUN, each and every one played like it's their last (except for that time at the Lobo Saloon).Their Motorhead-meets-Merle sound is heavy, catchy and powerful at the same time; sledgehammer rythyms and chicken-fried riffs, gritty, ballsy yet tuneful vocals, with a washtub full of shit-hot git-tar slopped on top.So, if any of this rawk-n-roll mayhem sounds like your cup a tequila, do yourself a favor and check 'em out the next time they come swaggering/stumbling into your town, or go out of your way, for that matter, hell, the Swinos are worth it.And when you do see 'em, buy 'em a drink, dammit ! They're thirsty !
