Po’ Boy Swing are graduates of the same musical school as Faith No More, Scatterbrain, Sweaty Nipples, The Beasties, and others of the funk/rap/metal genre.
An ambitious young band. Tackling questions of the human spirit and the dark seduction of losing yourself in the crowd, Raine Maida’s voice strips bare.
Is it indie? Post punk? Noise pop? They play too well to be punk. The production is too good to be noise. They don’t sing well enough to be pop. A keeper.
Single word song titles sum up this band. Simply power pop. Pretty dull vocals and chipper, noisy pop guitars. A few hooks offset the sensitive dreariness.
