Swell Maps bring their killer guitar riffs slam dunking into Mary St Live on 3rd July 2026. Doors at 7pm. Don't miss this!

In the mid-1970s, a collective of six English teenagers started creating music together in their suburban home-town of Solihull. This project evolved into Swell Maps, around a core of three musicians: Jowe Head, his school friend the late Nikki Sudden, and Nikki's brother, the late Epic Soundtracks. Their 1977 debut 7", Read About Seymour, came out on their own Rather Records.

One of the first punk bands to set up an "indie" label, they were also pioneers of “alternative" music, mixing punk with experimental sounds Swell Maps released four singles and two albums in a brief but eventful career, in partnership with Rough Trade, topping UK indie charts and influencing acts including Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Stereolab, and Blur.
