About Me

We are 5 kids who think that rock 'n roll should be like sex: fast, hard, some screaming, and over with quickly so no one gets bored. We're current or ex-members of the Loud Pipes, Faceplant, Hank Musgrove and the Mother Fucking Maniacs, Back Stabbath, Give Em Hell, Six Shooters to the Sky, Sink to Swim(offwithhishead), and countless others. We don't sound like any of those bands.
Swenson Street Hookers is equal parts punk rock, rock n roll, and hardcore. If you're looking for a band that sticks to a single genre, you're barking up the wrong tree. We're a band that pulls from influences, not from other bands' sounds.
"For those of you who think that Northwestern battering ram Zeke has mellowed with age, these dudes will supply that boot to the windpipe you're looking for. This is nasty, full throttle dirt rock that only stops long enough to crack open another beer. Singer Spencer shrieks himself hoarse over blitzkrieging guitars in short, jagged, profane outbursts. Recommended for anyone wondering what a heart attack feels like." -the RJ
