I think it&#8217;s really rare to see somebody doing that. She&#8217;s a business commodity, but seems to have maintained a lot of creative autonomy, which I think is super punk rock.

The band emerged in early 2015 through the dissolution of previous project Emily&#8217;s Army. In the grand tradition of punk rock, Cole Becker and friend Joey Armstrong formed the band before even learning to play their instruments, after watching the movie School of Rock at age eight. Drawing influence from seminal pop-punk acts like The Ramones and The Clash, the Beckers and Armstrong released two full-length records and a handful of EPs before graduating high school. The band toured the world, sharing stages with the likes of Pennywise, Rise Against, The Aquabats, Gerard Way, and Soundgarden, and appeared at Reading and Leeds festivals, Warped Tour, and Soundwave, before pursuing a new musical endeavor with a broader sonic palate. The new band solidified its lineup as Max Becker made the switch from bass to lead guitar and Armstrong taught friend Sebastian Mueller to play the bass. SWMRS attributes the emotional lyrical content and slicker production of their new material to diverse influences ranging from Public Enemy and A Tribe Called Quest to Pavement, Weezer, and Nirvana.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on SWMRS, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/swmrsswmrs.tumblr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">swmrsswmrs.tumblr.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Bay Area quartet SWMRS have released their debut single Miley.
