The Mobros + Dead Swells

DEAD SWELLS

Dead Swells is an indie rock quintet based out of Charleston, SC. Front-man and songwriter Paul Nederostek started the project after having written a handful of songs that commanded a wider vision, so a band was born. These songs laid out a vision and the foundation for the band’s live and recorded sound, reflected in their upcoming debut album. The band, each being seasoned musicians, locked in a heavy groove based upon the songs written by Nederostek alone, and performed throughout the Southeast as a fully formed set up. After moving to Charleston in 2017, Nederostek buckled down and focused on recording and producing the songs that make up the band’s self-titled debut release. The upcoming record is the product of years of perfecting and honing in on production techniques, having mixed and recorded the entirety of the upcoming album with the guidance of co-producer Wolfgang Zimmerman.

The group is currently made up Paul Nederostek – vocals, guitar, keys, Adam Haltiwanger – guitar, Luke Reeves – Keys, Ben Moody – Bass and Joe Lansburg – Drums.

THE MOBROS

Camden’s Mobros began as a teenage blues duo, with soulfulness and swagger that belied their tender years, but with a familiar traditional approach that exposed their unease at extending beyond their youthful comfort zone.

This held steady as they grew their fanbase, touring the country for three solid years and opening for legends such as B.B. King. A move to Charleston and a year-and-a-half break to regroup and record new material has resulted in Kelly and Patrick Morris, the titular Mobros, turning their sound inside out with new single “Carrie Anne,” a sonic delight that’s less dedicated blues than it is smoky, Northern Soul-inflected desperation. The Mobros’ signature stripped-down style lurks behind Black Keys-level rock ‘n’ roll rhythms from Patrick, while Kelly croons like a man possessed.
