Artist description Moonshine Sway’s songs employ a patient march between bars and lonely streets, cities and towns, and heartbreak and helplessness. In between the riffs and lines, lays the labor of life and the highway—a seemingly endless stream of guilt and dead-drunk remission that hangs in the smoke tails of tiny barrooms. Pabst and cheap whiskey remain the drinks of choice as they soil each song with a familiar and pleasing tone of longing—one that never, fortunately, seems to find a home. The balance of twang and gruff-driven power ferments a blend of music too country for punk, yet too punk for country.

Artist History Moonshine Sway was formed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin during the winter of 2002. Hell-bent, buzzed-up, and a bit frayed from the road, Moonshine Sway’s vintage blend of cow punk nestles the finer elements of old-time country, punk, and alternative rock into a forceful package of dirty, bleeding guitars, thumping bass, explosive drums, and ragged vocals that are worn thin from liquor and long nights.
