Punching Swans

Medway

Punching Swans may be called the ‘nicest guys in rock’ but they’re also rebels at heart with a devoted following and a hard-won reputation as hardcore’s harbingers of the ‘What-if?’ It’s math rock mayhem meets noise punk nirvana. A Kafka vs. Cthulhu love story set to a soundscape of David Lynch surrealism. They’ll turn your existential dread into a party. Pablo Paganotto (Sassyhiya, Mookherjee), Greg Webster (Sonaura) and Joe Wise (Frau Pouch) have been crafting sonic architecture for the disaffected South England set for years. A polyamorous marriage of technical brilliance, catchy complexity and unadulterated energy, these London/Kent scene veterans deliver. As individuals they’ve been instrumental in cultivating DIY networks for performance and amplifying quieter creative voices. As a band, Punching Swans are prolific, proficient and always ready to release the next colossal Kraken.
