SWMRS is a punk rock group that emerged out of Oakland, CA in 2004. Formed by Cole Becker and Joey Armstrong, the band pulls from the archives of classic rock, surf rock and punk to create a jangly and less aggressive bank of garage punk. The band released its first two albums, 2011's Don't Be a Dick and 2013's Lost at Seventeen, under the name Emily's Army before changing its name to SWMRS. After taking its time to tighten up its songs on the road, SWMRS released its third LP Drive North, in 2016 with Uncool Records.
