Over recent EPs, Can’t Swim have delivered a varied selection of styles, ideas and genre-hued tints, but third-album ‘Change of Plans’ sees the quintet in many ways returning to their roots.
That doesn’t mean they’re not still pushing new ideas, but rather casting these thoughts through a satisfyingly tense prism of post-hardcore aggression.
Teaming up with Beartooth’s Caleb Shomo, ‘Set The Room Ablaze’ has especially sharp teeth – an immediate calling card for a band who continue to hit the spots others fail to reach.
