SWINGIN' UTTERS

While its origin story has gone through more reboots than Batman, Superman and Spider-Man combined, punk rock has been a  consistent presence on the musical landscape for more than 40 years. You might be surprised to know, however, that the Swingin’  Utters have been around for nearly as long —the band celebrated their 30th anniversary with a greatest-hits collection last year.  Hell, this Bay Area street-punk band is so well-respected among their peers, there’s even a whole tribute compilation dedicated to  their extensive catalog, including covers by the likes of Dropkick Murphys, Fucked Up and Teenage Bottlerocket. 

Since that comp came out in 2010, the Utters have issued three more full-lengths, each more fiery than the last, and now sit on the  verge of releasing their ninth proper LP. Recorded at Nu-Tune Studios in Pittsburg, California, this past March by Chris Dugan (Green  Day, Iggy Pop), the album is titled Peace And Love, but don’t let that fool you: This isn’t some Haight and Ashbury hippie shit. In  fact, according to guitarist/vocalist Darius Koski, Peace And Love’s content is as politically outspoken as the Utters have ever been. 

“This is, by far, our absolutely most political record we’ve ever done,” Koski says. “We don’t generally write very pointedly political  songs. We tend to be a little more vague and abstract. But this one is pretty pointedly disgusted and pissed off and really directly  attacking these fuckin’ people in office.”
