With a nod to Bad Brains and Hot Snakes, Ballarat’s SWHAT come bursting through the gate with their aggressive brand of rock-infused punk. Towards the end of November 2013, the band released their debut album, Down in Tango Zulu. For the album, the band took the minimalist approach, restricting themselves to the eight tracks available on the reel-to-reel. It was also recorded and self-produced in their Ballarat home studio. Anyway, because I know you have time on your hands, you should check out the clip for new single ‘Henry (Police Enforcers)’. Along with Melbourne ‘fistcore’ outfit Dixon Cider and local pop-punksters The Shorts, SWHAT storm The Eastern, Ballarat on June 26.
