Swain, formerly known as "This Routine is Hell" is originally from Utrecht but recently had the entire gang move to Berlin. Hard to define, difficult to brand, but always known for their intense live shows. After recording their sophomore LP ‘Howl' (2013) with the legendary Kurt Ballou and touring Europe on their 2015 EP 'Heavy Dancing', Swain went to the U.S. once more to record ''The Long Dark Blue' with the infamous J. Robbins (Jets To Brazil, Paint It Black, The Promise Ring, Modern Life Is War). 'The Long Dark Blue' is an intense and heavily eclectic record that's being released by End Hits Records on September the 9th, 2016.
