REALLY EXCITED. Not just because their bassist is also in one of my favourite bands around (brontide). Not just because they are one of the most recent signings by awesome label Holy Roar. (anti climatic...) but because Le Swing are a reincarnation of a band who passed into obscurity last year after releasing one of the best 7" ive ever heard; PICTURES. With a replacement drummer and the singer dropped though can they live up to the hype (that i just created... whoops)
I guess you probably havent heard pictures due to their serious lack of exposure. CORRECT THIS NOW (they are dysfunctional so no ones losing out when you steal their music now)
(sorry for the shit picture of le swing... i stole it off nathans facebook because they have no real pics on myspace and shizz, ignore the girl... pretend its a boy)
Anyway i should discuss Le Swing really. Someone told me their name was made from combining Le Shok and Swing Kids... kind of a appropriate when you listen to them. Similarly to pictures they are a DIY punky mathcore band... Only two songs have been recorded, both fantastic; ear ripping walls of shouty hardcore punk (bordering on screamo), with meticulous shredding guitar hanging onto blitzing drums in ridiculous time sigs. It all reminds me of Blood brothers crossed with dillinger or trencher. Its an amazing song! Perhaps this band lacks the brilliant vocals of pictures but i still think they sound amazingly promising.
They shared a roly hoar split a few months back with easy hips (who incredibly surprisingly they share a member with), run,WALK! and dreamboats
BUY IT HERE (do its really good and only £4 w/ downloads)
