Listen To SWMRS' New Song, Trashbag Baby

Ahead of the release of their new album Berkeley's On Fire next month, SWMRS have unveiled a brand-new single and video, Trashbag Baby.

Of the quartet's new record as a whole – which will be coming out on February 15 via Fueled By Ramen, and was produced by Rich Costey (Muse, Death Cab For Cutie) – co-frontman Cole Becker recently told Kerrang!: "I’m gonna be super-braggadocios right now: Max [Becker, co-frontman] and I would be biking home from the studio every night and saying to each other, ‘We’re making the greatest album we will have ever heard!’ And that’s not to say that we’re better than everyone else, but I know we’re at our own personal best, and we’re doing the absolute best work that we will ever do, which I’m really excited about."

Listen to what he's talking about with the ace Trashbag Baby below.

“We were spending six hours just trying to find a guitar tone, and I’d have such a bad headache afterwards," Cole adds of the lengths the band went in the studio. "I’m not detail orientated, but I think Max and Joey [Armstrong, drums] really are, so for me, I was definitely learning a new skill ofhaving patience for getting these details that I wouldn’t have thought were important. We had two and a half months in the studio, so we made everything the best it could be. That’s a really rewarding feeling now listening back, and knowing that there’s no other way that we could have done it, because that was the way we found after exhaustive research.”
