ABOUT THE BAND...
SWT is contrivance of Stephen on vocals and guitar, Josh on drums, and guitarist turned bass player Cody. The group is a three-piece that is heavily influenced by the punk and grunge bands of their youth. They strive to bring back that energy to the stage, delivered with an almost tangible Pacific Northwest feel that vacillates between aggressive and cheeky. While stylistically they may not fit neatly into a single genre, you’ll recognize them immediately by their brand of melodic rock/punk simmered in the muddy footprints of the Puget Sound. Their music brings an immediate reminder of Pennywise, Rise Against, Bad Religion, NOFX, and many others of the genre, sometimes all in one song.
With “Kill Your TV”, SWT offers a scathing rebuke of manufactured division permeating society with the same ferocity they rebuke craft beer. This freshman offering is energetic, lyrically biting and snarky, messy but motivated. Four months after its release, Souls Worn Thin was featured as the 99.9 KISW Loud and Local Band of the Week in January of 2022. Outside the Puget Sound the group has been played in Las Vegas, NV with 92.3 KOMP, the Discover You Radio Show Denver, CO, and multiple local, regional, and international radio shows.
So far, two songs from the album have been recognized by the Songwriters Association of Washington, with “Ain’t No Life” and “Swarm” recognized as a “Finalist” and receiving and “Honorable Mention” consecutively. Most recently in January 2024, Souls Worn Thin was selected as the "Punk Band of the Year" at the Washington State Independant Music Awards show.
SWT has been busy since their inception. The band has enjoyed success in the local and regional area with over 70 shows from Las Vegas to Portland, Seattle to Spokane, and everything in between.
The guys finished their second album titled "Treason", which was recorded at Magic Mix Studios with the incomparable Daum Duo and mastered by the grammy award winning Howie Weinberg. Treason was released on all platforms July 1st, 2023.
SWT has enjoyed support shows for Rise Against, Sense Fail, Hed PE, Smash Into Pieces and Versus Me.
