Dead Swords

It’s a grungy, shoegazy, ’90s-inspired song that sounds a little like Catherine Wheel.

Also: Bikini Kill vs Taking Back Sunday, Against Me vs Guided by Voices, Flaming Lips vs Rancid vs Glassjaw vs Descendents, and more….

Headliners include blink-182 (playing ‘Enema of the State’), Slayer (final Chicago & Milwaukee show), Bikini Kill, Jawbreaker, The Flaming Lips (playing ‘Yoshimi’), and more…

The stacked 15th anniversary lineup also includes Rise Against, Flaming Lips (playing ’Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots’), Jawbreaker, Ween (playing ’The Mollusk’), Against Me! (playing ’Reinventing Axl Rose’ and ’Transgender Dysphoria Blues’) and more.

The Darling Fire is the new band from Jolie Lindholm, who used to front The Rocking Horse Winner and sang on the first two Dashboard Confessional albums, and it also features members of Further Seems Forever, Shai Hulud, Poison the Well, and more…

Dead Swords may be fronted by a member of The Gaslight Anthem, but they’re closer to the punk-turned-shoegaze approach of bands like Nothing, Cloakroom, and Hyperview-era Title Fight…
