SWILLMERCHANTS:
"Like a poetic genius with a thirst for life, trapped in the body of a late night madman with a thirst for alcohol"

A powerful blend of dynamic drum and bass rythyms, vintage guitar tones, hook-heavy synth riffs and artistic vocal delivery make the Swillmerchants debut full length release, “the mint hotel”, one of the most original and exciting records to come out of the vibrant Northampton, MA music scene in years. Influences such as; The Who, Interpol, Oasis , MGMT , Black Flag, Death From Above 1979 and Radiohead have played major roles in shaping the band’s musical direction and attitude.

The music, combined with powerfully delivered vocal hooks, initiate an energetic thrill that highlights the band’s sophisticated lyrical content and songwriting. With a reverence for musical styles and cult-classical artistic themes that have defined a generation, “the mint hotel” emphatically reminds its audience of where rock has been, while quite seriously challenging where it might go. Known for unforgettable live shows and electrifying stage presence, the Swillmerchants are a band that reminds everyone that music is supposed to be FUN.

HERE IS WHAT SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT US:

"The Swillmerchants ARE rock & roll!! If you don't believe me THEN LISTEN! " -Mike Haze, Lazer 99.3 FM (2008)

"They make dark and driving rock music, but on the new record they show other sides of themselves, like the Dylan/Hendrix-inspired delivery of the verses of "The Passenger Who Never Falls Asleep"...Musically, the songs on "the mint hotel" make excellent use of layers...the hard work put into the record is obvious." ~ The Gazette, May 2009

"The Swillmerchants swagger...with the whiskey soaked, in your face brand of rock and roll that's earned them a reputation for delivering an unforgettable experience every time they take the stage." ~ Ironhorse Entertainment Group, May 2009

"The band has offered rock clubs all around the Northeast their raw, energetic sound and lubricated stage show for nearly four years..."the mint hotel" is as fresh as the name suggests. Swillmerchants sound has always been angsty, bass-driven rock with infectious energy, but the new album offers loads of new stuff, and does everything in big style...each track is dynamically different..." ~ The Valley Advocate, May 2009

"It’s not often you run into a band that has it all: talent, experience, and a good hand on the business. Northampton, Mass rock group, the Swillmerchants are taking over the northeast music scene...bringing modern rock a new edge, and making their own rules in the music business." ~PlanetVerge.com, July 2009

"...great job providing a contrast in phrasing between sections...the verses have a nice hooky flow. The chord progression is solid and catchy. The singer sells the song well, and I love how you layered the vocals...Overall, I think you guys did a great job..." ~TAXI.com, June 2009 (Individual song review for "French Movies")

I've loved The Moves of a Bishop since the first time I saw you guys - glad to finally hear the recording of it. I'd go to the release show but I'm still gonna be at school that weekend... oh well, I figure I'll run into you guys at some point this summer. Take it easy.
