| | Zwan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Djali Zwan, an acoustic incarnation of Zwan, which also featured violinist Anna Lenchantin, was to film and record the making of a new album in the studio in the fall of 2003, with an album and DVD to be issued in early 2004. | | | Zwan performed about 50 new original Corgan songs on its several brief, acclaimed tours, but released only one studio album. | | | Sweeney recruited Pajo, and the band debuted as a four-piece in late 2001. |

| | Zwan: Mary Star of the Sea (2003): Reviews |
| | Fairly underwhelming music from Zwan's one and only album. | | | Zwan is Billy Corgan's triumph, an unrepentant glam-rock/prog-pop bacchanalia, an album of stadium happy singles and up-with-people wonder anthems. | | | While Zwan sometimes displays the anguished heart of the Pumpkins, the band also has a leaner, upbeat sound that is, at times, downright sweet and playful. |

| | Once Zwan releases an album that hits the airwaves, however, Zwan will be well-known for their great songs. | | | As Zwan's sound was unveiled, it seemed silly that critics emphasized the difference between Corgan's bands. | | | Zwan introduced several solid new songs in its one-hour set. |

| | BBC - Rock & Alt Review - Zwan, Mary Star Of The Sea |
| | Zwan is a band with a powerful, catchy, though not overly sweet, sound and they have a lot of potential to grow musically since their sound isn't boxed in with the ambition to be the best out there. | | | The Zwan album is represents a death of the old Billy Corgan (as a songwriter) and the birth of a more calm songwriting spirit. | | | Zwan has a few very melodic and musically memorable songs and it also has quite a few skip-over tracks. |

| | Zwan Review |
| | Zwan are Paz Lenchantin (bass, violin, vocals), David Pajo (guitar and keyboards), Matt Sweeney (guitar and vocals), Jimmy Chamberlin (drums), and Billy Corgan (guitar and vocals) This was probably the most fantastic concert I’ve attended. | | | However, due to the emotion of the crowd, Zwan gave us the option of a slow sappy song or a high power rock n roll song to end the night with. | | | Another song I haven't heard before, but wow, what a song to end it with. |

| | Dreams of Glass: Zwan: Mary Star of the Sea |
| | Zwan returned for three encores, the first a gritty rocker called "Spilt Milk," the second another gospel lyric over a dense blues-rock riff that repeated the refrain "Saw the Light." But the night closed with the reflective "Of a Broken Heart," with Lenchantin back on violin and Pajo at piano. | | | Zwan's songs surge confidently, bursting with major-chord progressions, spiraling guitars and the titanic drumming of Jimmy Chamberlin, who nearly steals the album with a jaw-dropping combination of precision, agility and muscle. | | | Zwan fit a stadium-size sound into the 1,100-capacity club, and for anyone who appreciates the roar of guitar-bass-drums rock it was a night to celebrate. |

| | NBC 4 - Sound Bytes - CD Reviews: Zwan, Jayhawks Attempt To Escape Their Past |
| | The new true standout in Zwan is Chamberlin, whose inventive and quick-limbed drumming style changes drastically from song to song but consistently propels the music forward. | | | Although bands like the Jayhawks and Zwan have little in common musically, there's one aspect of the music industry that both groups seem to know all too well: struggling to reinvent themselves. | | | In the case of Billy Corgan and his new Chicago-based band Zwan, the sheer number of commonalities between the new group and his former band, the Smashing Pumpkins, only bolster attempts to compare and contrast. |

| | Zwan's only album also openly displayed a spiritual side that was only hinted at in the Pumpkins' work, with song titles like "Declarations of Faith" and lyrical themes of redemption and enlightenment throughout. | | | Zwan's only album, "Mary Star of the Sea", released in January 2003, entered the Billboard charts at number three and has sold over a quarter million copies. | | | First off, it's doubtful that anyone expected Zwan to rival the creative peaks of the mid-90's Pumpkins to any extent, but those who had fallen under the spell of Corgan's epic alterna-rock powerhouse in its glory days knew that his sometimes superhumanly gifted songwriting would at least break the surface of the new group's work. |

| | ZWAN's album isn't particularly ambitious, at least not by Corgan's lofty standards. | | | Behold: He has a new band, ZWAN, with a pretentiously titled album, "Mary Star of the Sea." | | | Corgan's fuzzed-up, elephantine guitar sound remains intact but is exaggerated by ZWAN's triple-threat ax attack, which adds rich sonic texture to straightforward rockers such as "Yeah!" and the album's first single, "Honestly." |

| | It's not the best song on the album, but it was a good idea for the first single because it has all the Zwan elements you find throughout every song. | | | Arena-folk-metal-punk, a rampaging triple-guitar attack and pop melodies, glam grandeur and sophisticated twists, Zwan is the band he's wanted from the moment his Smashing Pumpkins hit the big time. | | | My first exposure to Zwan came from the recommendations of a friend, and out of curiosity I picked up "Mary Star of the Sea." (Okay, the cover [pulled] me in too -- it's fairly interesting to look at) What I found was some out-of-the-ordinary rock, with excellent guitar and lyrics. |

| | Zwan: Mary, Star of the Sea: Pitchfork Review |
| | And since the album's balance between loud rockers and delicate ballads is virtually identical to the first two Smashing Pumpkins albums, it can't be blamed on a lack of cohesion, either. | | | Zwan's sound, thanks to Corgan's distinctive guitar tone and Jimmy Chamberlin's He-Man drumming, feels right out of Butch Vig's board circa 1993, so you can't really fault that. | | | His black mumu is back in the attic where it belongs, indicating that, if nothing else, he's on the right track. |

| | PIXELSURGEON Reviews Music Zwan |
| | Not a huge surprise, considering that he continues to be the main songwriter with Zwan, but it does make it difficult at first to consider this new outing as anything other than Billy Corgan's new backing band. | | | This is largely down to that distinctive voice that cuts through, but there's also something inherently Corgan about those bright intertwining guitar harmonies and the sheer quality and invention to be found throughout the production. | | | A warmer, more drawn out feel pervades, from the upbeat opener with it's delicious instrumentation and vocal harmonies, culminating in the exquisite Desire towards the end of the album. |
