Video: Swim Deep - 'The Sea'

Joys a plenty in the video from B-Town favourites Swim Deep and their most recent single 'The Sea'. Filmed in The Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre in South London, the boys stalk about as a preppy dance troupe and karate kicking fella dance and er... kick, with plenty of fans, band logo scrawled on their face with their best biro. Pointless as it may seem you can't help but smile. Swim Deep are talented lads, if not for their great songs for their unrivalled ability to make it feel like summer all year round.


New Choons: JAWS - 'Friend Like You'

Straight off the back of supporting Swim Deep on their first headline tour in February, JAWS, B-Town's underdog band, are back with a new single, the sweetly titled Friend Like You. The opening riff glistens before the band kick in swimming deep (ha ha) in a pool of reverb. It's a very familiar song even on first listen, imagine U2's With Or Without You re-written in the hands of The Cure with the vocals of Bernard Sumner. 

A contemplative and rather optimistic song as frontman Connor Schofield asks in his signature drone "do you want to look back and say you did it well?". The single is taken from the band's soon to come EP Milkshake out on April 22nd which also features past singles Toucan Surf and Surround You but will be available individually on April 1st. The band have this week announced their first UK headline tour to be starting later this month so be sure to catch them before they do a Peace and blow up!
