ICYMI: SWMRS PERFORM "FIGURING IT OUT" ON THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH JAMES CORDEN
Praised for "defining the sound of now" in Rolling Stone's Best New Artists 2016 feature, SWMRS released their debut album Drive North in February via their own Uncool Records. The album is available now HERE. This October, SWMRS will provide direct support to FIDLAR on their "Too Much Tour" of the US. A complete list of upcoming live dates can be found HERE. There's never been a punk band like SWMRS, the Oakland quartet that combines the caustic broadsides of The Clash, the amphetamine bubblegum of the Ramones, and the searing lyrics, propulsive energy, and raw honesty of Public Enemy, Frank Ocean, A Tribe Called Quest and Kurt Cobain. Formed after the dissolution of their previous band, Emily's Army, the childhood friends (Cole Becker, lead vocals, rhythm guitar; Max Becker, lead vocals, lead guitar; Joey Armstrong, drums, backing vocals; and Sebastian Mueller, bass, backing vocals) showcase telepathic chemistry on their formal debut, "Drive North." Produced by Zac Carper of FIDLAR, it's suffused with coming of age jams, subversive anthems to Miley Cyrus, and a sense of freedom forged out of modern-day confusion. The guitars draw blood, the drums detonate, the voice is unique-the sound is timeless.
