SWMRS Gig Review, Supporting for ATL
Thursday 30th March saw SWMRS' return to Norwich; this time, opening for All Time Low. Second on the bill, the band played after Waterparks.
To kick things off, the band opened their set with "Palm Trees"; one which got the crowd going. SWMRS played 8 songs which included some of their biggest tunes such as "D'You Have a Car", "Miley" and finishing with "Figuring It Out". If you enjoy this band's recorded music, you will love their live show because they put on an excellent one.
Musically, the performance was incredibly slick and clearly well-rehearsed. From the way the four members played, it was evident that they know their craft masterfully. However, the performance of the band was far more than just their musical ability: they had the crowd in the palm of their hands and created an unmatchable atmosphere. Lead singer, Cole Becker, had the audience hanging onto his every word, every note. When they began to discuss political issues the crowd showed significant support; when they emphasised the power of Rock 'n' Roll, the crowd cheered; and when they played their, the crowd showed love and passion to notable amounts.
Thursday's show showed that this band are something special: for a support act to be able to get the audience yearning for more the way SWMRS did is something that rarely happens; so skilled that an unknowing audience member could easily have felt that it was SWMRS who were headlining. Watching from the pit, or experiencing from the pit, was a truly wonderful affair and has left the feeling of wanting more.
If ever you get the chance to see this Oakland quartet perform, I urge you to take it because this is band who are heading in one way and that is up. Likeable, relatable, but most importantly talented; if you want to go to a gig and get the full package of a great sound, great songs and a great atmosphere, GO TO SEE SWMRS.
On the 30th, SWMRS killed it and surpassed any and all expectations, which were very high. This band are the future of music and are certainly one to watch.
