Swans are an American experimental rock band formed in 1981 by singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Michael Gira. One of the few acts to emerge from the New York City-based no wave scene and stay intact into the next decade, Swans have become recognized for an ever-changing sound, exploring genres such as noise rock, post-punk, industrial and post-rock. Initially, their music was known for its sonic brutality and misanthropic lyrics. Since 2019, Gira has been touring and recording with Swans as “a revolving cast of contributors”. The band’s latest album, Birthing, was released on May 30, 2025. Since 1990, all Swans records have been released through Gira’s own label, Young God Records.
