Swami John Reis (Hot Snakes/Drive Like Jehu/PLOSIVS) Announces Full Band Tour For August

The Swami John Reis Band will be making their first-ever appearances on select California dates this August.

Swami John Reis Announces Long-Awaited Debut Solo Album 'Ride The Wild Night'

Ride The Wild Night is neither completely similar nor dissimilar to Reis’ previous bands (Hot Snakes, Night Marchers, The Sultans, Rocket From The Crypt, Drive Like Jehu), yet the sound is immediately familiar and assuring. The music is an amalgam of Sixties folk-punk, Seventies punk-punk and pre-Vietnam War rock ’n’ roll.
