Album Notes & Community Reviews

Graduating from the indie underground to a major label, the Boston-based quintet attempted to translate their ferocious live energy into commercial alternative rock. 'Swandive' blends their hardcore punk roots with heavy, groove-oriented hard rock riffs and polished production values. Despite significant touring and critical praise within the college rock scene, the album failed to achieve mainstream success and the band broke up shortly after.
