Sydney band SWRLS have gotten underneath my skin with “Definition,” their first single and our first taste of their debut EP. It’s such a slick song with such a great melodic core.
SWRLS’ vocalist and guitarist Thom Moore wrote the song about a girl who’d often hang out in the next room of the Sydney sharehouse where the band wrote and rehearsed, but it’s got a much more universal appeal. Haven’t we all felt that longing for someone just out of reach? The track reminds us to reach for the stars, because surely the endless longing is worse than any potential regret.
SWRLS are set to release their debut EP, featuring “Definition,” this winter. They’ll roadtest songs from the EP for hometown fans at the following shows.
12 June 2014 – Fredas, Sydney
19 June 2014 – Oxford Art Factory, Sydney
28 June 2014 – The Standard, Sydney
