Riding a significant amount of buzz for their just-released full length album Sugarwater, post-hardcore band Swings embarks on a tour today with DC-based Exploding In Sound labelmates Two-Inch Astronaut to the northeast. For a taste of their hazy, melancholic sound, here’s the music video for “Tiles”, directed by Maggie Menditto.
On this week’s episode of the Hometown Sounds podcast, Tony can’t bounce to the latest club bangers because a new Popeye’s special is weighing him down. Also, Paul admits to creepin’ on Periscope. But what you really want are the freshest DC songs from Swings, Reesa Renee, Gent & Jawns plus exclusive new tracks from Br’er, The Beanstalk Library and Jacqueline Pie Francis that you can’t hear anywhere else!
Tracklisting:
Gent & Jawns – Moon Bounce [Moon Bounce / U NO I]
Reesa Renee – Guess Again [Lovers Rock]
The Beanstalk Library – Big Dumb Hooks
Jacqueline Pie Francis – Blue Sky [The Sea]
Swings – Tiles [Sugarwater]
Br’er – Reprobate [Maskings]
