Swn 2009 Day 2: Swanton Bombs
Posted by: nick
Swanton Bombs are like the White Stripes but with a much much better drummer. The 2-piece feature Dominic McGuinness, younger brother of Music Mule hero Eugene, and Brendan Heaney. These guys have a good knowledge of music and wear their blues rock influences proudly on their sleeves.
For Fans Of: White Stripes, Led Zeppelin, The Libertines, White Denim.
Dominic, tonight wearing a flashing blue skull pendant around his neck, is a mean guitarist and a generally endearing fresh faced front man. Brendan is an awesome drummer. Break neck speed when he needs it but it’s not thrash metal, we’re talking a bit of cultured can banging. Slightly reminiscent of the Arctic Monkey’s drummer Matt Helders.
