The five boys from Oakland California took Reading by the balls and screamed in its face.
Led (sometimes rather interestingly) by the rhythm, lead singer Cole Becker brought his wildest, flailing dance moves to the stage, accompanied by lyrics matched unfailingly from adoring fans.
A stand out moment includes the band’s announcement that abuse will not be tolerated, sending out a clear message of care to their fans. This was quickly followed by a request for a ‘wall of death’, making clear that despite being safe, SWMRS will definitely not be punk rock party-poopers.
With one last song to go, gasping for breath with the sweat to show it, Becker got crowds screaming with promises of “a lot more coming”. He closed with a heartfelt salute, securing the band’s performance as one of the most memorable of my day.
