Praised for "defining the sound of now" in Rolling Stone's Best New Artists 2016 feature, SWMRS released their debut album Drive North in February via their own Uncool Records. Produced by FIDLAR frontman, Zac Carper, the album is available now HERE. Noisey announced the release and premiered "Figuring It Out" praising the track as a "poppy foot-tapper filled with skate-gang vocals." Nylon premiered the band's video for the track, which was directed by fellow Bay Area artist Kreayshawn. Watch it HERE.

Drive North also features the band's debut single "Miley" which i-D Magazine premiered last fall, hailing the song as "the most punk tribute to Miley Cyrus ever." The band's DIY music video for the track can be seen HERE. Album opener, "Harry Dean" is an abridged version of a previously 17-minute epic the band originally recorded to soundtrack Saint Laurent Paris's Spring/Summer 2016 presentation, earning them praise from fashion heavyweights like WWD and Interview Magazine.
SWMRS recently sat down with Zane Lowe for an exclusive interview on his Apple Music Beats 1 show. Listen to the band discuss demos and early recordings with Lowe HERE. The band also joined Annie Mac for an interview and in-studio performance on her BBC Radio 1 show, delivering an unforgettable cover of M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes". Listen HERE. SWMRS recently made their European television debut, performing "Figuring It Out" on Canal +'s Le Petit Journal. Watch the clip HERE.
