the swan king - eyes like knives

released 2011

take 1 part asschapel (vocalist dallas thomas)

take 1 part planes mistaken for stars (bassist jamie drier)

then add a guy from chicago,il named zafar musharraf on drums

and then you get something that would appeal to fans of bands with names like: drive like jehu...planes mistaken for stars...unwound...young widows

(though you don't necessarily have to like things in alphabetical order to dig this)

DL: eyes like knives
