Leeds electro-noise quartet Bathing Suits release their debut EP KILL BATHING SUITS via Underplay Recordings.
Formed in Leeds’ DIY party scene, Bathing Suits bring together Freyja Blevins on drum machine and vocals, George Dickinson and Alex Mulholland on guitar, and Elise Hughes on bass.
On their debut EP, their mantra, “Always dancey. Always loud. Always sexy.”, pulses through every track as post-punk collides with 2010s pop, creating the soundtrack to late nights that blur into dawn.
Latest single ‘Swan Princess’ arrives alongside KILL BATHING SUITS. Speaking on the track, Freyja says:
“Swan Princess was one of the songs that we had written earlier last year, it was supposed to be a sort of dancey but still punky track, something that fit well into our live set. At the time I was quite inspired by a-lot of what Model/Actriz were coming out with.”
