June 15, 2014

Dirtfest 2014 has an incredible lineup to include Killswitch Engage, Powerman 5000,Hed (pe), Battlecross, Nonpoint and many, many more great bands. To add to the great lineup, is the progressive metal band The Mighty Swine. They will be delivering their hard rock fierce metal to the masses at this year’s Dirtfest, scheduled to appear on Saturday, August 9th at The Birch Run Expo Center in Michigan.

As a one day event, Dirt Fest boasts well over 50 acts of various genres over multiple outdoor stages at The Birch Run Expo Center every year. Banana 101.5 FM hosts the Dirt Fest with promoters Matt Dalton and Andy Dalton. Founder Matt Dalton started the Dirt Fest in 1998 as a small outdoor music party which quickly grew into Mid-Michigan’s ONLY long-running and large scale music festival of its kind which continues to reach a growing audience each year.

The Mighty Swine recently released their 3rd release on Broad Horizon Records but forget whatever you thought of The Mighty Swine before, this is a whole new animal! Bassist/Vocalist Mike Skimmerhorn went back to his metal roots and enlisted Guitarist Stacey Donahue and Drummer Rory Faciane for a full on barrage of utter mayhem! Last Man Standing is a nail-biting excursion into the world of politically-charged heavy metal where the messages are never lost in translation perfectly crossing over between progressive hard rock and true, traditional heavy metal!

For those of you not familiar with The Mighty Swine, they are Guitar Oriented, Lyric Driven, Bass Pounding, Drum Bashing Hard Rock / Melodic Metal with audible lyrics and hooks.

You can check out The Mighty Swine in their official video for Last Man Standing:

They have also just finished video production on their song Two Graves which is set to release on July 1st. So make sure to visit their social media sites and stay up to date on their latest news.
