Ledaswan inhabit a terrain where the manicured noise of the 'White Light / White Heat' era Velvets meets the narcotic woozy world of Mazzy Star, synapse shredding sonics shaking hands with dreamy delerium.

Harder Rocking Fleetwood Mac dates the Breeders-in a nutshell heavy guitars, noise, sing-songy melodies with fierce yet dreamy vocals
Guiterrez’ voice is often mesmerizing and occasionally sugary sweet—the Austinist
Ledaswan pulls you in with Gutierrez's voice, but underneath the sweetness is a darker edge, with pensive lyrics and a complex framework—210SA
With a lineup and collective personality eerily similar to Fleetwood Mac on Quaaludes, Ledaswan should only get better as it ventures on to the wider scope of a full-length album—Album review S.A Current January 2008
San-Antonio based rock band Ledaswan produces and records their own music, which paid off with Verse of Truth, Trash and Beauty. Verse of Truth, Trash and Beauty, the band’s debut album won Best Album of 2007, as voted by readers of the San Antonio Current
The band is led by Erica Guitierrez, who’s vocal range varies from ethereal to haunting, which led to her winning the 2007 San Antonio Current Best Singer-Songwriter award. Ledaswan‘s deeply textured music is rounded out by brothers Jaime and David Monzon on guitar, Jackee Flores on bass/backup vocals and
Delrick Colwell on drums.
After winning awards at their first attempt on a record release and working to
build the local San Antonio music community, Ledaswan's momentum continued
throughout 2008. Just returning home from a regional Texas tour, the band
continues to work on new material for a full-length album as a West Coast Tour for summer of 2009 unfolds.
Ledaswan came together over an urgent love for the Jesus and Mary Chain's echoed-stoned "Psychocandy," the fractured bass melodies of Joy Division's "Day of Lords," the sinister charm of Mazzy Star's "Halah."
Performing their very first show when they were invited to play at Emo's in Austin, TX for Ladyfest 2004, they've played with Veruca Salt, the Umbrellas, Susan Gibson, Jim Ward, Jeremy Enigk, and indie rockers Lydia.
