Swoon (13)

Swoon are a socio-political electro-punk band hailing from Brighton, UK. Their first release ‘Teeth’ caught the attention of the Brighton-based label and booking agency, One Inch Badge, who proceeded to put out their debut record, the "Fun Police EP". Soon after, they played shows supporting Rostam, Public Access T.V., (the late) Her’s, The Blinders and most recently as support to Pussy Riot on their 2018 UK tour. The band’s influences come from disparate places: a huge passion for the contemporary pop icon Grimes, an intense worship of David Bowie, mass book-consumption and the nostalgic-listening of emo and metal. All of which are tossed into the Swoon melting pot and from this, there emerges their ‘anything goes’ alt-pop music.
