What?Last night I decided to be impulsive and on a whim headed into Brixton to watch a band comprised of people I either knew or were acquainted with at school, all of whom I haven't even spoken to in four years. [Swound]
I was a bit apprehensive of travelling to a strange place alone, of possibly being bored, of not liking their music, of being surrounded by strange people in a bar I was unfamiliar with but this is what impulsiveness is about - taking risks and haha did it pay off.
After an eternity of sound checking and a lot heckling by a nearby table of really old people (They were hilarious), Swound finally kicked off their set in style by telling us to "shut yer mouth" (Apparently it's a track of theirs ) and Rowan started prancing around the stage like a total nutcase.

Brilliant stuff, I didn't know whether to laugh or dance, I chose the former due to the low alcohol content of the pisswater I was drinking and clapped along to the madness.
They had an interesting style which I couldn't quite put my finger on, but there was a track or two that would definitely do well if presented to the masses, (the Shut your mouth track whatever it's called being one of them).
Ah it was some good stuff, but unfortunately as I had to dash down to the Victoria line which is closing early this summer I didn't get chance to stay around and catch up.
There's always next time, and with any luck they'll be signed, successful and have lots of hot girls hanging around by then. Here's to hope eh?
