NYC based hard rock band SWEAR ON YOUR LIFE was formed in the Spring of 2005 by MilitiA. (from FUSE, MTV2, VH1 and DEE SNIDER's VAN HELSING'S CURSE) out of a burning desire to chariot her very own electric noise machine. Heavily influenced by Rage Against the Machine, Nine Inch Nails, Primus, Pantera, Faith No More, PJ Harvey + L7, SOYL is exhilarating, empowering, triumphant, daring and mean with a vengeance- while putting a bullet into every cliché associated with female-fronted bands.
SWEAR ON YOUR LIFE has shared the stage with Twisted Sister [Bent Brother], Made Out of Babies, Bella Morte and Voltaire. The band has been featured on TALKING METAL, BLACK ROCK COALITION events (BRC Director, Earl Douglas named SOYL's album as one of the Top 10 Best of 2008), THE MEDUSA FESTIVAL, "TAKE BACK NEW YORK" benefits and THE GITS MOVIE NYC Premiere Party - where original riot grrrl KATHLEEN HANNA (Bikini Kill, Le Tigre) described MilitiA's voice as "some of the best live vocals (she's) ever heard.”
Recently, +SOYL+ was reborn with 2 new members- Jerry Kops (PULL, ROCK OF AGES, BLUE MAN GROUP) and Jeff Hardee (HOSTEL INC.) MilitiA. and the band will be featured in the cinematic sequel to NOT BAD FOR A GIRL- a music documentary which has featured women in rock such as Joan Jett, Courtney Love and Kat Bjelland- as well as in the upcoming book. Additionally, MilitiA. and bassist Shane Boulos are writing music for a new music television show that MilitiA. will be hosting- more info on that to come!
