who are they, then
Going Swimming is the culmination of four like-minded young souls from Melbourne who, together, produce a distinctly brash brand of rock n' roll. United through a shared love of 1990s children’s television shows, Russian literature and white spirits, the oft-described ‘surly scally-wags of surf punk’ play music to strut and swing to, with lyrics that suggest that the party is loose, but their morals are looser. Combining swaggering vocals, snarling guitars, obnoxious bass and frenetic drums, Going Swimming want nothing more than to dance and drink you into submission.

Garnering a reputation for a frenetic live show, which is both equal parts energetic and entertaining, Going Swimming have already supported bands such as The Vasco Era, Drunk Mums, and Mesa Cosa in their first 6 months, as well as a residency at the iconic Tote Hotel and featured at the 2012 Melbourne International Arts Festival. Set to unleash their debut release ‘The Shark Attack EP’ on the world in January, 2013 has great things in store for these gaudy shirt-clad brats.
