Swell Maps - Midget Submarines

Saw in the New Year listening to Swell Maps. Why did nobody tell me about these guys before?

Happy New Year, gentle readers.

  1. great one to start off the year!
    top 5 favourite bands for me. genius.
    still have me very beat up t-shirt that i got made in Reads on Nassau St. many many years ago
    i was also lucky to meet Nikki Sudden before he died, he played a gig to about 10 people in JJ Smyths, had a pint with him after, super nice guy and so fucking cool.
    also check out there solo stuff, and Epic Soundtracks was also in Red Krayola for a while, Gina Birch and Laura Logic where also in the same line up.......oh oh and check out teve Threatment, SM where his backing band, they took the whole T-Rex obsession even further

  3. Had their 'jane from occupied europe' album years ago.Nikki Sudden did some stuff with roland s howard if I remember correctly. Also there was a great NS + the jacobites 12" in the late 80s, but the name escapes me. I think epic soundtracks brother died also a few years back?
