SWORDS consist of two bass guitars and drums. No vocals, no guitars, no kidding.

Words are inadequate to describe the bone bending hum of SWORDS. This is a band you can feel in your teeth, even when they aren't playing. In silence, SWORDS is always there, the buzz of their idle amplifiers like the drone of a swarm of monstrous robotic wasps. When they honour our skulls by flipping the standby switch, their majestic bass-heavy throb shakes the earth beneath your feet, cracks foundations, and the roar bends light. SWORDS are modern behemoth, a mechanized present day thunder lizard. They will crush you, and you will rejoice.
The men involved are a riddle wrapped in a mystery wrapped in a coil of steel cable.
SWORDS are a three man army. You cannot stop them... you can only hope to contain them and minimize the damage.

Three tracks from SWORDS, two from THUNDERCLAW. Released March 2008. Limited to 200, hand screen-printed and hand numbered. Available at shows, Big Star (Rundle Street, Adelaide) and by emailling us.
We also have a 3" CDEP out as well. It's available at shows and limited to 100. If you can't make it to a show, contact us and we'll sort something out.
PLEASE NOTE: These are 3" CDs, which means they will only play in CD players that have a tray. If you try to slip this into your car stereo or slot-loading computers, you'll be really upset. Nobody wants to see you upset.
