Following the release of their new five-track live E.P. Swords have released footage from the gig of the band performing new song ‘Betty Machete’.
Filmed by Michael Barwise during the Dublin trio’s recent one-off performance at Smalltown America studios in Derry, this live rendition of ‘Betty Machete’ is the perfect documentation of their continued growth as a band.
A stand-out from Swords’ stunning headline set in the Button Factory last summer, the song is an electro-punk influenced offering from the three-piece.
Aggressive, swamped in noise-pop styled washes of bass that give way to pounding percussive passages ‘Betty Machete’ showcases something very different from Swords while also still having it’s feet firmly in the up-tempo groove of tracks from their brilliant debut Lions & Gold like ‘All The Boys’ .
Set in the scenic locale of Smalltown America studios the performance captures one of Ireland’s most engaging live acts in an intimate locale.
Swords –Live at Smalltown America is available on a limited two-week release now via independentmusic.com.
