Swanton Bombs album & tour


I saw Swanton Bombs support Girls at The Lexington last year. (LAST YEAR. That's the first time I've written that this year. It feels weird.) They were tight, ferocious and very loud. Largely due to drummer Brendan Heaney's relentless energy, as displayed in the neighbour-riling video above.

Anyway, they're ace and their album Mumbo Jumbo and Murder is out on February 15th on vinyl and digital download.

I thoroughly recommend checking them out live too. Invigorating to say the least. Here's where you can catch them:
