Sweet/Swollen

The Austin, TX quartet continues to carry the torch for honest, emotive rock music, gravel-throated and pure of intent, the way we all used to remember indie rock: as music for the outcasts, in the years before it was co-opted as a marketing tool. 'Sweet' and 'Swollen' both continue in the path of the group's debut album Voyagers of Legend: a stark and sincere rally for all the proud men and women holding back the tears out there in radioland.
