Swindler – The Game is Rigged (2019)

SWINDLER is a rock playground for an experienced “iron clover” on the Danish music scene. The group consists of frontman and rhythm guitarist Esben Elnegaard Kjær Hansen and drummer Mike Park – both active in the Danish thrash kings HATESPHERE. The bass is handled by Ask Fogh known from his time in the enfant terrible of Danish rock, ROCK HARD POWER SPRAY. On lead guitar, we find Steffen Smith, a live session for SURFACT.

Together, the quartet has over 50 years experience, released up to 20 records and played hundreds of shows on several continents. The style is ‘chopperrock’ with distorted guitars, crunchy bass, punchy drums and crispy vocals. The song writing is top notch with an clear emphasis on cool riffs and catchy choruses. The rhythm section swings rock-solid, and Smith’s superior solos are the jewels of the crown. This iron clover is a force to be reckoned with for years to come.
