En garde! Oregon post-rockers The Swords Project are drawing their blades and leading a charge around the U.S. this fall, hitting up many a city in a tireless quest to bring their subtle, melodic rock to the live stage. Their debut full length, Entertainment is Over if You Want It was recently released on Arena Rock, bringing fleeting blips and bloops together with post rock floating structures of extended instrumentals. They'll be touring throughout most of this month and into mid-November, and they'll bringing with them emo kids the Gloria Record and the Japanese post-rock combo Mono for some dates.
