TRACK REVIEW: SWEARS – Believe It

This ain’t your grandpappy’s SWEARS. Their new single Believe It sees the group develop a more dense and chunkier sound – like chocolate Angel Delight that has been left in the fridge for a little bit too long.

Moody and melodic, this slice of alt. rock is a delightful catchy romp that wastes no time; it doesn’t overstay its welcome but you certainly miss it when it’s over and you’ll find yourself singing the main refrain “and you better believe it” long after the dust settles. Filthy bass, pulsating drums, buzzsaw guitars, shimmering melodies and a haunting vocal that echoes a lack of motivation to get yourself out of a terrible situation.

Oh SWEARS, I do indeed believe it.
