Vol III by The Steady Swagger

An unexpected constellation of tales ranging from the history of the 12 signs of the Zodiac to a man missing his golden hat, or the theatrical monologue of an arrogant magician awakened by his own powers, this 3rd album is by far the most accomplished of their career. Hear the growling voice of a proud Viking narrating the story of the Goddess of light, feel the charm of a storyteller bruised by the black plague and let yourself be transported into the dark and harmonious lullaby of a lone wolf.

As soon as they get going, so does their hungry public. For the past six years The Steady Swagger have been crafting their unique style of folk storytelling grounded by a solid rock & roll foundation. They play a deft mélange of high octane theatrical folk music punctuated by surf rock, jazz, pirate shanties and gritty blues. Montréal’s charismatic power trio has been compared to the likes of Tom Waits, Primus and Gogol Bordello due to their baritone voices, original compositions and fevered energy, and it’s quite the spectacle. Stillness and mayhem. Waltzes and mosh pits. Roaring shouts and sing-alongs. It’s a potent mixture of festive and dark, comforting and angry, comical and dramatic. It’s rugged, charismatic, finely distilled and ferociously fun.
