Birmingham's grunge-gaze rascals Swerve have pulled the trigger on new track "Relator". It's a maelstrom of rhythms, riffs and razor-sharp mayhem.
Featuring aural titbits from the fuzziest of '90s acts, the grubbiest shredders that the USA has to offer and guitars that sound like they've been recorded underwater, Swerve's take on rock is decidedly loud. "Relator" is a tangled knot of all these elements and more, with the drums gallivanting through the shoegaze-y gauze like an excited puppy, and dreamy vox draped over the top like poppy sugar.
