About

Hey! We're SWiiMS - An indie rock outfit from Toronto, Canada.

 

Singer Mai Diaz Langou & guitarist Colin Thompson started writing songs together in late 2019, blending a mixture of his fuzzy, jangly, swirling guitar tones with her elegant poetry, textured melodies and languid voice. Bassist Cian O'Ruanaidh joined shortly after, bringing a fresh voice, unique blend of influences and hooky bass lines to the group. Drummer Craig McCann joined the SWiiMS in November 2023 and with his addition, the band is currently writing new material for their second album.

Drawing influence from a diverse spectrum of artists, SWiiMS blends elements of 80's New Wave, 90's Shoegaze, Indie Rock, Brit Pop and Dream Pop to arrive at a sound that is all their own.
SWiiMS released their debut EP "Through Waves" in the spring of 2020 amid the growing pandemic. Despite the shutdown, "Through Waves" got solid critical achievements, radio play and charted on NCAA.

The band’s first full length LP "Into The Blue Night" is out now! The album has been enjoying success since its release on November 10, 2023: it currently sits at #64 on North American College & Community Radio Charts and has debuted at #16 on NACC Radio Canada.
