***Over the past year street punk legends SWINGIN’ UTTERS tested the known limits of building anticipation. In early 2010, to the delight of fans, the band ended a 7 year drought by entering the studio and recording a brand new full-length record titled Here, Under Protest. As expected, with such a lengthy stretch between albums the excitement over this news was profound. Here, Under Protest unanimously delivers on every bit of the anticipation, even more, it surpasses it. Comprised of fourteen tracks Here, Under Protest drips with the signature punk revival/country/Irish folk sound that has sustained Swingin’ Utters as one of the most successful independent punk bands of their time. As always the song structures on each track reflect the the group’s advanced degree of musicianship through a fabric of clever guitar work, well timed hooks, and captivatingly interwoven vocal melodies. Of course all of this is tempered with the grit and edge the band has always been known for. (STREET DATE - 4/26/2011)
