The Centre Will Hold

Swan Island is an all-female pop/prog/metal crew founded in Portland, OR in March 2004. Clearly situated within the grand tradition of Pacific Northwest feminist rock (Sleater-Kinney, The Gossip), Swan Island boldly encompasses Heart’s heart, Sabbath’s chug, and The Au Pair’s political disco. The Centre Will Hold captures this unique fusion with the kind of crackling, raw energy that has made their live shows legendary, resulting in a confident opening statement with soul and style to spare.
