Just Swell


At only one minute and twenty nine seconds long Swell Maps debut single doesn't hang about and is none the worse for it. Read About Seymour was a DIY, punk inspired, 1977 self released single. Solihull's Swell Maps consisted of a pair of brothers (Epic Soundtracks and Nikki Sudden, great stage names both) and school friends Biggles Brooks, Jowe Head, Phones Sportsman (ha!) and John Cockrill. Come on, John, why no pseudonym?
