The Swear Ready to Hit NYC

I had the pleasure of meeting The Swear down in Atlanta this past summer. In addition to putting out some quality songs, these folks struck me as really good people. Elizabeth Elkins is a force whose delivery and lyrics on songs like "The Sleep Inside", "January" and "Deadfall" are as good as anyone in the rock game today. Elkins is joined by similarly able band mates in Jeremy Zamora (guitar), Kent Aberle (drums) and Kevin Williams (bass).

If the songs sound familiar, you may recognize them from one of several tv shows that have featured their tunes. The Swear have been played on Smallville (The CW), Roswell (The WB), Rescue Me (FX), Reunion (FOX), Life As We Know It (ABC), Wanted (TNT), Outward Bound (The Discovery Channel) and various MTV programs. In 2006, The Swear was also recognized on the Atlanta It List, as one of only five music acts (with Outkast, Sugarland, Ludacris and TI).

They have been tearing it up all over the South, but will make their first foray into NYC tomorrow night at Arlene's Grocery. If you're in the area stop on in, you won't be disappointed.
