The Jimmy Swift Band’s sound is a fusion of the best in both rock and electronic music. The result is a original and stylistic sound that is uniquely their own. Their live show is a frenzy of sweat, blood, dancing, and thrashing – all to hypnotic rhythms and an unrelenting energy that is both addictive and unstoppable.
This June the JSB launch a new live album version of their earlier 2009 DVD release, JSB – Live At The Marquee. Initially available only during performance dates, this new album carries with it all of the excitement and energy that has become known, loved and expected of the JSB across Canada and beyond.
The band is currently in session recording their fourth studio album scheduled for release in the fall of 2009. For this project the band has embraced even further the electronic elements that have always been a big part of their live show’s popularity while holding strong to their love of dirty rock and roll – its Daft Punk on Jaggermeister – Iron Maiden on Ecstasy…
“The band and audience fed off of each other throughout the night making for many dramatic and climactic points. It was high-intensity and JSB never let their energy level drop. By the end of the show the crowd were throwing their arms in the air and you could tell by the dance moves that all inhibitions had been lost. The encore lasted for a half-hour and it was clear that JSB have live shows like no other.” (Exclaim Magazine review of Toronto performance at the Elmocambo – Feb 2009)
The Jimmy Swift Band is truly an anomaly within the music industry – a truly independent band that have forged their own path yet have made a living playing music. On stage their tireless energy has always been focused on the audience – on turning a Saturday night concert into an unforgettable experience. You will likely never see or hear anything like the Jimmy Swift Band anywhere else, and you will never walk away from another show feeling like you did the last time you saw the JSB.
