Swagger Album Release Party May 2nd
Swagger is a young Raleigh rock band that will have a breakout year in 2009. The band worked most of last year with John Custer to produce 8 expansive tracks that rock with a soothing southern fried familiarity that’s respectful of it’s roots.
And roots are something Swagger aren’t shy about celebrating. Jimmy Page and the Crowe’s Robinson brothers would be proud to hear the passionate grooves across every track. Swagger isn’t copying anything though, the music’s sound isn’t an imitation of something before, it is a product that sounds like NC and of the moment. The disc is full of whining feedback, chord changes, and a driving rhythm section with just enough twang in singer’s Dallas Perry’s voice to be unapologetically southern. Swagger’s EP release party is this Saturday May 2nd at the Dive bar and we are totally stoked.

Parallell universes are weird. The term swagger and, more recently, swagg are reaching total saturation with a number of new labels, magazines, etc, using swagg in their title.
I won’t hold that against this band but the cliche of hip hop swagger, especially from New Yorkers, is so tired that I have to choose to get past that.
