A punk rock band from Oakland, California with a taste for vintage West Coast pop-punk and a melodic sense akin to indie rock, SWMRS (pronounced "swimmers") began when they were too young to drive, but have matured into a sound and style of their own. In February 2016, after issuing a handful of EPs, SWMRS released their first full-length album, Drive North; it was produced by Zac Carper of the band FIDLAR, and was released through the band's own Uncool Records label. ~ Mark Deming
