It was a Monday night in the Deluxe Room at the Old National Centre in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana, but that did not deter fans of the Oakland based SWMRS from coming out. The band lead by Cole Becker on vocals, Max Becker and Jakob Armstrong on guitar, Joe Armstrong drummer, and Seb Mueller bassist came out with a ton of energy performing the catchy tune ‘Trashbag Baby’ from their latest album “Berkeley’s On Fire.” They followed it up with ‘Hellboy’ another fast paced driven tune much to the crowds delight. The band slowed down the pace a bit with tune ‘Lose It’ from their 2016 album release “Drive North.” The band would bounce back and forth the rest of the set with material from both their albums. They closed the night with ‘April in Houston.’ Be sure to catch the band as they tour the rest of April out west and play a gig on May 3rdat The Belasco Theater in Los Angeles, CA before heading out of the country to play some dates in Germany, the UK, and Russia this summer before returning to the US to perform at the X Games in Minneapolis, MN in August.
