Rolling Stone Magazine called them L.A.’s “angry pop stars” in its annual Best of the Best issue. Fans have packed clubs from San Diego to San Francisco for the highly charged musical catharsis the band dishes up in dangerous doses. The word-of-mouth buzz about the quintet has recently turned to a deafening roar as the best known unknowns in town get ready for their close-up.
Who are they? Emm’t Swank, a name you’re going to have to get used to, if the quartet’s rapid rise through the ranks of the SoCal clubs scene is any indication. In less than a year’s time, Emm’t Swank has racked up a raging rep, thanks to SRO appearances at the Troubadour, Luna Park, Spaceland, the Dragonfly, and the Joint among others. On the verge of a major breakthrough, Emm’t Swank cuts to the chase with music that gives a whole new meaning to the term “audience participation.”
Fusing elements of the Cal Arts and Sunset/Silverlake musical axis, Emm’t Swank hunkered down for a year of intensive songwriting and rehearsing before emerging onto the club scene to blaze a trail of enamored aficionados, drawn like moths to the flame by the band’s intensive commitment to total immersion performance. With live favorites that include “Bitter,” “Good People,” “Own Little Prayer,” “19” and “Bigger Than Mine,” the group’s galvanizing musical chemistry has been honed to a wicked gleam just in time to get it down in the studio, when they begin recording their debut release early next year.
In the meantime, catching their act should come with a warning label: Danger: Prolonged Exposure May Result In Unauthorized Emotion. Now you’ve only got yourself to blame.
