About TWS

Our Beginnings

The Western Schism joined irreverent forces during the Covid-19 viral conflagration of early 2020. This stylishly weathered 4-piece plays a unique style of Aussie pub rock frontman and songwriter Benedict Sweeney terms "blue crop"and "jangle jive". A uniquely Aussie blend of alt. rock, pop, country, r&b and folk originals evolving emotions of love through to irreverence, voiced with rhythmic lashes of pop, funk, swing, soul, electro and metal.
