The Swear
Canis Minor EP

The music grabbed me the second I pressed play. ‘(Are You Ready For) Another Change’ is a new-wave pop classic with elements of punk thrown in for good measure, and what a great start to the EP it is.

‘In The Dark’ keeps the tempo up and reminds me a lot of Bloc Party. However, the girly vocals are a refreshing alternative that sets it apart from its main influence.

That said, I’ve just read on the band’s website that they’re splitting up and this will be their final release! What a shame, I was looking forward to hearing more but I guess I’ll just have to keep pressing repeat!
