about

Forgive us, Little Idiots™, for leaving you forlorn for so very, very long. It was neither fun nor easy to suspend our collective when and how we did, but it was what was necessary at the time. This makes it all the more fitting to bring you news at this particular point in the Nail-biter’s almanac: Our sophomore album, ‘Swim Team, a Decade of Hits’, has materialized. The thought of releasing this beast at the time of our demise was deemed non-essential by our drunken committee. In reality, its less of an “album" and more a collage of recordings from the group; think unfinished mixes trapped in failed, calcified hard drives, demo recordings, random documentations of jams, etc, etc…

Due to the overcast of the rapidly growing American Auto-Plutocracy becoming physically impossible to ignore, we have decided to allocate all funds from this digital release to be a fund-raiser. The beneficiaries of the the spoils has yet to be agreed upon by our cohorts, but I can tell you it will be either some or one of the following: The United States Postal Service, Planned Parenthood and Public Cincinnati Radio (WAIF or WVXU).

The outcome of our State following what’s next is painfully uncertain. Our People’s courier is in a war of attrition with our electorate-appointed leader at a time when we simply need USPS to deliver a piece of paper voicing our wish that he not be our leader (again). Entertainment-based opinion news, owned and operated by our oppressors has been made the norm and it is two sides of the same coin that community based journalism has been emaciated. The fight against the admonishment of womxn, their bodies and their autonomy can never afford to decelerate.

Please enjoy the (hit) singles we release today, Wednesday and the full album on Friday May 1st, 2020. We will be releasing the album via our BandCamp page, so as to take advantage of the website’s waiving of fees. This will hopefully maximize the amount of donations we gather and deliver. Also, happy May Day to all!

Sincerely yours forever,

Swim Team
Bombs away!

about

Swim Team Cincinnati, Ohio

They call us thrash pop and I still don't know what it means. Robert Christgau says: "From the budding alt-rock Athens of Cincinnati, Ohio, three hairy thrash-pop guys help one bebanged post-riot grrrl work out her frustrations."
