SWMRS Unveil New Song And Video, Berkeley's On Fire

This is important.

August 20, 2018

SWMRS have released a powerful new politically-tinged song and video, Berkeley’s On Fire.

The track – which comes ahead of the band's Reading & Leeds performances this weekend – addresses the protests at UC Berkeley last year, which came after the uni announced an appearance by British political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos.

Excellent stuff.
