Swann Danger
2002-Present

Swann Danger began as a two-piece in Spring of 2002 with Andy taking on bass, drum machine + sampler duties , and Cynthia on vocals and guitar. Both Andy and Cynthia were members of the band Heart of Snow, which put out an EP on GSL and then fell apart by early 2002. Swann Danger put out a self-titled EP in 2003, which was later released on vinyl by the Swedish label Relase the Bats, and contributed songs to a GSL complilation (Golden Grouper, vol. 1), a Strobelight Records Compilation (New Dark Age, vol. 3) and a forthcoming split 7" with The Holy Kiss on Kill Shaman Records. The band toured Europe in June/July of 2005 and has played shows up and down the West Coast. Most recently, Swann Danger played with friends the Sixteens and Autonervous at the Knitting Factory in NYC. Plans are in motion for the recording of a full-length in January 2006 with Pete Lyman at the helm (Infrasonic Sound, Year Future) and the addition of drummer Joey Perales (Dead and Gone, Creeps on Candy) in lieu of the mechanical box. (yes!)

Press
"Slow and deliberate tunes that sway and soothe, invading your conscious and getting under your skin. Swann Danger lures you into its web with sultry
vocals and liquid guitar. Cynthia's vocals are deep and hypnotic, sort of like the woman from Glass Candy (but without the biting high tones).
This two-piece is able to make deep and complex songs with minimal instrumentation sure to delight fans of GSL styled hardcore." -- Heartattack #45
"The music is a duel of fluid, sludgy bass and bursts of noisy guitar that reminds me of The Birthday Party meets Neurosis. Cynthia's vocal approach
is a moody warble, much like her previous work in Heart of Snow. The songs are all plodding in tempo, but restless in melody. They offer a good range
of intimidating and heavy sounds." -- Deathrock.com
