Swound!

What's Your Poison?

"If a shark stops swimming, if a shark stops swimming, if a shark stops swimming it dies." If a lyric is repeated, if a lyric is repeated, if a lyric is repeated it sticks.

Loathe yourself for saying band name Swound! out loud and sounding like a dick. And kick yourself some more when singing 'hey, what’s your poison sailor?’ out loud hours after the track’s finished playing.

Rhythmic simplicity meets lyrical absurdity meets anarchic arrangement for the Isle of Man’s band of brothers’ proper debut single. 'What’s Your Poison?’ won’t so much get under your skin but be the dirt under your fingernails that you bite clean. Tasty? Hmmm...
