SWEAR JAR - CUSS (2011)




















Swear Jar (Cincinnati) play bombastic, hardcore rock, garnished with unexpected transitions. A trio that exude intensity and play with the subtlety of a blunt object to the skull. The band’s rhythm section plays a prominent role in their sound: heavy, jangly, ropy bass lines are set to a unique hybrid of George Hurley and Todd Trainer drumming styles driving counter-intuitive song structures. This foundation underlines chaotic guitar-work which dynamically veers on and off the rails, sparking dissonance and ingenuity. For fans of Amphetamine Reptile’s noisiest and most abrasive work, NoMeansNo, Shellac, Minutemen and Crucifucks.
