I saw Pete Swanson last night at MOTOR's bi-monthly show at Seattle's Lo-Fi venue. I hadn't heard much of Swanson before this, but damn, it was ridiculously dark, raw, and primal techno/noise. Unfortunately his set was cut short due to a blown speaker or something, but for 15-20 minutes he was 100% on point, with a slight "I don't give a fuck if you like this or not" scowl on his face. I'm not gonna lie, this is some abrasive stuff, even for delicate flowers such as myself, but if your musical sweet spot lies on the fence between dance and noise, then you'll find plenty to like on the Punk Authority EP, which is out now on Software.
