THE MOOD SWINGS

The Finest Line [3.4 MB] download

Taken from their Susstones debut album, "Finest Line" is a brand new fuzzpop gem from The Mood Swings. The band has been growing by leaps and bounds, a fact confirmed by the sharp hooks and confident playing on this song. Singer/guitarists Ashley Prenzlow and Sallie Watson, along with drummer Laura Bennett and bassist Dan Boen (hijacked from labelmates Polara), have been blowing minds and making lots of new fans at recent live performances. "Finest Line" is a perfect example why.
