“Sydney Sleadd & The Swarm just released their excellent debut and 'genre-fluid' album called Creature Untamed. They describe their music as "Midwestern sad girl surf grunge" with a little bit of soul and outlaw country. Sydney is a storyteller in her sometimes dark tales of woe and heartbreak, conjuring up desert motifs, a 67 Chevy, and lots of fire.” - Laura Shine
