The four-piece Los Angeles indie group Louden Swain makes music best described as a combo platter of classic, alternative and hard rock. That makes for a sound both loud and approachable, one that can blow your hair back even as it touches your heart.\n\nFronted by lead singer and actor Rob Benedict, Louden Swain also includes bassist Mike Borja, lead guitarist Billy Moran and drummer Stephen Norton. The band is readying its fourth full-length recording – Eskimo, set to be issued in January 2012 on their own 3 Car Wreckords label.\n\nEach new album has arrived brimming with gumption and sparky intellect, leading to a lot of early buzz: “The LA pop rock band has a polished sound reminiscent of Marvelous 3,” says Kayley Thomas of Pop Matters, “one that crackles and sparks with wit, humor, and a powerful mix of intellectual and musical playfulness and maturity. Bursting with energy and whimsy.”\n\nThat fizzy amalgam of sound ties together a wide array of influences. Benedict and Borja – who met while in college at Northwestern - formed an initial version of the band, and count as early influences indie\u002Fcollege rock legends like R.E.M., the Cure, the Pixies, Pavement and the Replacements, among others. \n\nThe original lineup, which included former guitarist David Wendell and Norton, released Louden Swain’s debut “Able-Legged Heroes” in 2001. The addition of Moran completed the band’s sound, as he and Norton brought in early musical influences from the hard rock\u002Fmetal world – notably Kiss and Gun ’n Roses. The quartet’s common ground, early on, could be found in classic rock icons like the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and the Who – and that provided additional spices in their melting pot of musical textures.\n\n“Today, we find ourselves listening to music just off the beaten path, but maybe not swaying too far,” Norton says, rattling off current hit-makers like My Morning Jacket, Foo Fighters, Wilco, Radiohead, the Black Keys and others. “We enjoy artists who push the boundaries while not alienating the listener.”
