Swearin' Announce New Album, Surfing Strange

[DudeAsInCool]

Swearin': "Watered Down" on SoundCloud.

Update: The title is Surfing Strange, not Strange Surfing.

Philadelphia band Swearin' have announced the full-length followup to last year's excellent self-titled debut. Surfing Strange is out November 5 through Salinas Records, the Detroit punk label behind Swearin' and records from singer/guitarist Allison Crutchfield's old band P.S. Eliot. The new album will also be out via Wichita in the UK. Listen to "Watered Down" above.

Once again, songwriting duties are split between Crutchfield and singer/guitarist Kyle Gilbride, with Jeff Bolt on drums and Keith Spencer (also of Waxahatchee) on bass. According to a press release, the album is a bit heavier than Swearin'.

This month, Swearin' will also contribute to a Guided By Voices covers 7" from Salinas. It's a four-way  split and also features covers by Screaming Females, Waxahatchee (aka Katie Crutchfield, Allison's sister), and Upset (the new band of Ali Koehler and Patty Schemel).

After the tracklist, watch Swearin' play "Movie Star" at a house show last summer.
