Swimsuit!

After a putting very good demo tape and a fantastic 7" last year, Swimsuit's debut LP is finally here! The self-titled record is being released by Speakertree Records on June 28th, but you can go stream the whole thing at bandcamp RIGHT NOW! I've been listening to it all morning and I can already not recommend it enough! The songs are super-infectious and the band-wide vocal melodies are so much fun. I can't even imagine how much of a blast this band must be having. So yeah, go listen to it! Now!

Swimsuit!!!

Ypsilanti's own, Swimsuit!

Not since getting ahold of the Weed Hounds demo last year, have I been so excited and blown away by the first listen of demo. The band is Swimsuit and they're from Ypsilanti, MI! They're relatively fresh out of the over and are not to be slept on! Fred Thomas of the amazing, incredible, best ever Saturday Looks Good To Me teamed up with friends Shelley, Dina (of Secret Twins), and Amber to form Swimsuit back sometime around the beginning of the year. They've since released a Demo EP, Life Like, and since hearing it, oh, just about an hour ago, I've fallen madly in love. The melodies are surfy and as catchy as I could have hoped for (and frankly I do believe I could have guessed Fred was involved even if no one told me). The vocals, which I believe come from Dina — who lent her vocal chords to Stuart Murdoch's God Help The Girl project — are also pretty to die for. Listen to "Evaporation" below! If you love it as much as I do you'll definitely want to download the Life Like HERE.
