Week 14: Swim Deep - Honey

So VERY 1990s

At first I didn't think this was that great. But then I found myself listening to it over and over and over and over again. After about 29 listens, I realized that yes I must really like it. It's got the jingly-jangly love-fest feeling of the Stone Roses, a young and carefree spirit that doesn't take itself too seriously, the swagger of many a non-London band that's come before them (see: Oasis, Stone Roses, The Verve and we can also add Miles Kane to that list) and the dress sense of the early 90s.

So, perhaps there is something a brewing in the West Madlands (they no longer want to be known as from B-Town) and maybe contrary to much speculation it is Swim Deep that is riding the crest of the wave and not their contemporaries Peace or Jaws.
