“Auckland, New Zealand’s Swallow The Rat have roots in both their current home town and as far away as Austin, Texas, which makes them a perfect fit for the international locations of Shifting Sounds Records (Magnet School, Honeyrude, Black Books), who are based in Texas and Australia (it’s close enough). Set to release their full length debut, Leaving Room, on April 24th 2020, the band have developed a style that knots together their NZ post-punk influences with shoegaze and post-hardcore tendencies closer to the American underground.”
