Swept to Sea Discusses Debut Releases And Touring for the Summer!

 


 

Melodic metalcore act SWEPT TO SEA is a band of family and friends literally! Since their formation, they have gone on to release a debut EP and will soon release their debut full-length album! They even have a tour set for this summer time too! The band discusses all of this right below!

 

1. Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or came out just like that?

We all came together to share our favorite names and what they meant to us. Our lead guitarist,
Jeno, suggested "Swept to Sea," and we all thought it sounded amazing and carried a powerful
meaning. The idea behind it is that life can sometimes pull you into the depths, but it’s those
who find the strength to rise above it who prove they’re capable of anything.

2. Why did you want to play this genre?

We chose to play melodic metalcore because it’s a combination of genres we grew up listening
to and were deeply influenced by. Bands like Bullet for My Valentine and Killswitch Engage were
among our earliest inspirations.

3. Did you know each other before the band was formed?

Two of us, Jeno and Gio, are brothers, so we’ve known each other our whole lives. Sean and
Jeno have been friends since high school. Our drummer, Eric, joined the band thanks to a
recommendation from our friends in Lightworker. And our newest member, Jive, is also
family—he’s Jeno’s brother-in-law!

4. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local
bands you could recommend?

We’re a band based in the Bay Area, California, where the music scene is heavily rooted in
hardcore. We’ve had the chance to share the stage with some awesome bands like Vice in
Vanity, Deadfront, and Greybush!

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?

Listening to other bands and soaking in their creative energy definitely inspires us to write. The
idea that we can create something that resonates with others and leaves an impact is what truly
excites us.

6. What are your songs about? (What specific themes do they cover?)

Our songs are all unique in style but connected by common themes like overcoming struggles,
navigating difficult relationships, and coping with loss. We also dive into darker, spooky themes
perfect for Halloween vibes. Plus, our upcoming album Lost Shores will feature a
gladiator-themed track that’s sure to stand out!

7. Do you write your own songs? (Discuss the songwriting process in detail.)

 Yes, we write all our own songs! It’s a collaborative effort, with everyone contributing to the
music. We usually start with the foundation of a song—often a guitar riff—and then build on it
together. Once the structure is in place, we add lyrics and finishing touches to bring it to life.

8. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?

Our debut EP, Tides, dropped in 2022 and features fan favorites like "Shards of Your Reflection"
and "Tides Will Turn," which we love playing live. Recently, we’ve released four singles from our
upcoming album, Lost Shores. Each track showcases a unique vibe and offers a glimpse of
what’s to come. Expect catchy riffs, crushing vocals, and intricate choruses throughout the
album. Lost Shores officially releases on January 24th, 2025—get ready!

9. Do you have any new music in the works?

We’re gearing up to release our first full-length album, Lost Shores! While we don’t have any
new music beyond that right now, we don’t plan on taking a long break before diving into our
next project.

10. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?

We’re currently planning a summer 2025 tour! We’re also always up for playing local shows and
have a few announcements coming soon—stay tuned!

11. What plans do you have for the future as a band?

Our goal is to keep creating music and playing more shows! Hearing how much our music
inspires listeners means everything to us—it’s our main purpose as a band. We'd love to blow
up one day and tour the world, but if that never happens, we’ll be content knowing our music
has touched people’s lives. In the end, that’s all that really matters.

12. Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?

Swept to Sea is streaming on all major platforms! Here is our linktree https://linktr.ee/swepttosea
it has all our music and social media! Currently the only way you can buy our merch is at shows
