Seminal no wave/noise rock pioneers Swans have been unstoppable since their 2010 reformation, producing what just might be a contender for their best (or at least most balanced) release ever, To Be Kind, last month. Led by enigmatic frontman and multi-instrumentlaist Michael Gira, Swans’ first run lasted from 1984-1997, with a break just as long until their…

If you crave drama and excitement put to some amazing music, then The High Watt is where you want to be tonight. The only band featured for the evening is Jail Weddings, but the group’s eccentric way of presenting themselves is enough to upstage anyone, so it makes sense that they’re the only ones on the lineup for…

Their fourth album, White Women, has been met with nonstop critical praise, as well as the group’s highest chart performance to date, and their latest single, “Jealous (I Ain’t With It),” might just be their catchiest ever, and seems poised to become a smash summer anthem (watch its…
