SWMRS Release New Video For “Drive North”
Bay Area rock band SWMRS has released a new music video for their rock tune “Drive North” off their debut album Drive North. “We wanted to critique Los Angeles with the same kind of holier-than-thou contempt that Anthony Fantano approaches his subjects with. It’s cheeky and in good fun, but maybe it points out a few glaring issues with that city,” offered singer/guitarist Cole Becker on the inspiration for the clip.
The video was directed by Ryan Baxley (FIDLAR, The Front Bottoms, Bleached) and can be seen below:
In conjunction with the video’s release, the band has also shared an interactive map for “The Pin Drop”. Fans can upload a photo via instagram using geo/location tags and the hashtag #DriveNorth to drop their pins on the SWMRS Drive North map. Check out the map HERE.
SWMRS just kicked off a tour of Europe and the UK with support from The Regrettes.
