Darius Koski of Swingin' Utters and Filthy Thieving Bastards is planning his first solo album for an April 7 release on Fat Wreck Chords.
The records, titled Sisu, contains 15 songs written over the years that did not fit with his other bands.
“The release of this record has got to be one of the highlights of my life so far. I’ve always written songs like this (in a genre other than punk rock), but the only outlet I’ve had for them has always been maybe a song or two on Utters, or Filthy Thieving Bastards records.," says Koski. "I have a lot of material that’s just been sitting around for 25 years, with no outlet, and it’s been frustrating. None of the songs on “Sisu" are quite that old, but there are a few that I know I wrote around ’99.”
