Swearing At Motorists are like a two-man Who, tearing up stages wherever they go with their poptastic two-minute tunes and wild on-stage abandon. Being a two-piece (Dave Doughman, guitars & voice and Joe Siwinski, drums) they almost always get mentioned in the same breath as the White Stripes, but S@M were there first showing the world that you can rock hard without a bass player. Formed in Dayton, Ohio in 1995 (then featuring Guided By Voices drummer Don Thrasher), S@M have played an unbelievable number of gigs across the US, and released a handful of short but sweet self-produced albums - including 2002 MOJO alternative album of the year "This Flag Signals Goodbye" (Secretly Canadian). Easily one of the best live acts currently around, Dave & Joe veer between beautifully soulful and plain down-and-dirty rock onstage, and will not allow an audience be unmoved. If you have any interest in live rock'n'roll, then you cannot afford to miss this band. I promise.
