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.
