Swimming in Thunderstorms

Description

The famous British punk/rock band FISHER-Z returns with a new committed and current album. Fischer-Z is a British punk/rock band known for its melodic songs, poetic lyrics, cunning social and political commentary, and experimental textures. In a 42-year career, the band has released 20 albums, performed over 3,000 concerts worldwide, and sold over two million albums. Fischer-Z started in 1977 and can be contextualized in the late 1970s among the school of intelligent, eccentric, energetic, and hook-laden punk bands that overlapped with the new wave and post-punk movements. The band's early catalog perfectly aligns with the productions of XTC, Talking Heads, Wire, and Mission Of Burma. In 2019, Fischer-Z is still very much alive! Still living up to their legendary ways of challenging audiences with theatrical performances and incendiary versions of their favorite works. "Swimming In Thunderstorms" is a current album in both its songs and its spirit, featuring sturdy and dreamy rock guitars, a celestial atmosphere, and artistic and imaginative touches. John Watts once again demonstrates his talent as a singer, guitarist, and poet!
