Italian Space Rockers hijss have unveiled new single and music video “S.W.A.N.” taken from their upcoming self-titled album, set to release on September 18th, 2026 via Heavy Psych Sounds.
Says the band: “‘S.W.A.N.’ stands for Syndrome Without A Name and is divided into two parts. The first half is slow, heavy heated and repetitive, before gradually evolving into a kosmo kraut psychedelia.”

From Northern Italy summits through clouds and airplanes comes hijss. Stimulated by the musical instinct of band leader Lois Lane (guitar & vocals), drummer Maurice’s ferocious hits and bassist and keyboardist Pan’s catchy scales, their fearless sonic explorations does not only scratch the surface but goes deep under your skin.
Drawing from Grunge Rock and Post-Punk as much as modern Space Rock, this boundary-free unit propels itself into the stratosphere in a giant blaze of crunch and groove. hijss hit with a fierce Punk attitude, seamlessly combining their gritty riffs, pulsating basslines and kraut-infused madness with frontman Lois Lane’s Wyndorf-esque croon. The outcome is their own melting pot called “Kosmo Kraut.” Watch their latest video for “Vicious Cycle.”

All three band members come from a wide musical background, yet their common denominator is without a doubt their punk attitude. hijss puts genres in the background zapping from Punk over Blues to Space and Psychedelic Rock. The outcome is a melting pot called “Cosmic Grunge.” That means whatever you want it to mean. Their debut album “Stuck On Common Ground” was released in the spring of 2024 through Heavy Psych Sounds.
