Since their 2011 comeback album, street-punk mainstays SWINGIN’ UTTERS have been on a tear- releasing
two more new albums, a career spanning greatest hits album, and relentless touring- building on
their hallmark aesthetic of classic street-punk, with a wide array of folk, country, garage-rock, and even
honky-tonk embellishments. Once again Johnny, Darius, and Jack have collaborated to put together 15
songs that are as catchy as they are cohesive. Peace and Love is a true testament to the creative dexterity
of these talented songwriters. From the Lemmy-inspired album opener “Undertaker, Undertake” to the
catchy pop-tinged “Human Potential” to album closing ballad “H.L.S.”; a heartfelt tribute to Jack’s friend
and former bandmate, the UTTERS do not disappoint on Peace and Love. With the addition of Luke Ray
(Cobra Skulls), and Tony Teixeira (Cobra Skulls, Western Addiction), SWINGIN’ UTTERS have taken on
a whole new life while maintaining that classic UTTERS sound that has placed them in a league of their
own for 3 decades. With tons of touring planned throughout the fall and beyond, don’t expect these punk
rock legends to slow down any time soon!
