Guitar driven indie rock with soulful, insightful lyrics that champion the perpetual little man, the hapless underdog, the lonely achiever, and the willingness to wait for fortune to fall your way.
For their third full-length album, Los Angeles indie rock band Louden Swain set out to capture the energy of their emotional, heartfelt, and often amusing live show. The result is 14 catchy, soulful rock songs that find the band at the height of their musical maturity. This is a band that has more than paid its dues in the Hollywood music scene—having honed their sound together for over 8 years and gaining accolades from CMJ, The L.A. Times, and earning widespread placement on MTV soundtracks as well as the recent cult classic “Snakes On A Plane”. And the new album A Brand New Hurt, reflects the musical cohesion that comes from countless live shows and hours of rehearsals. This time through their relatable, often humorous lyrics, the band wrestles with the growing pains associated with maturing--in relationships, life and career choices—all framed by the backdrop of today’s changing political climate. Louden Swain has taken a musical snapshot of where they are and the world around them. And the result is a refreshingly focused picture of a band that has stayed true to themselves.
Here's a quote I saw today that made me think about the priorities in life;
"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air. You name them - work, family, health, friends, and spirit - and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends, and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered...You must understand that and strive for balance in your life."~Brian Dyson
