There's a new album from Colin Miller on the way. Lead single “Cadillac” is a beautiful memorial to a slice of Asheville that no longer exists. Check out this week's Swim Select below. swimintothesound.com/swim-selects...

"Spinning Around the Sun, Though My Feet Still Touch the Ground," the debut album by @modi_oh, is streaming everywhere now 🌞 vinyl ltd to 25 in each color on their bandcamp

With their brilliant combo of glam and indie rock, Big Girl have already conquered the live stage—and now they’re ready to take on the world. Meet your new favorite rock band and watch the video for their lead single “DIY GOD,” which is out today. ⛓️🧳 swimintothesound.com/blog/2025/2/...

I’ve heard this EP and it is preposterously good, get in on the ground floor with Big Girl now while you still can

So thrilled to be able to finally write about one of my favorite new bands! RIYL wacky but powerhouse vocals, groovy backup dancers, guitars that low key shred, fun, fucking shit up, red hair, shaking your fist at the sky, figuring out the answer was inside of you all along, etc

this is your punk rock chappell roan
