About Taylor More Swiftly
Emerging from the bustling underground scene of Brighton a few years ago, Taylor More Swiftly quickly carved out a niche with their audacious name and even more audacious sound. Far from pop ballads, this five-piece outfit delivers a potent cocktail of Alternative rock grit and infectious Ska Punk bounce. Their journey began in cramped rehearsal spaces, fueled by cheap lager and a shared love for bands like Rancid, Less Than Jake, and The Interrupters, but with a distinct British edge. They soon gained a reputation for their incredibly tight live performances and a knack for writing anthems that are both deeply personal and universally relatable.
Their sound is characterised by driving guitar riffs, a rhythm section that’s impossible not to skank to, and a dynamic brass section that adds a layer of sophisticated chaos. Lyrically, they blend social commentary with humorous observations, all delivered with an energetic urgency that defines their genre. Tracks like “Mosh Pit Anthem” and “Skank Like You Mean It” have become fan favourites, showcasing their ability to craft catchy hooks that stick in your head long after the final chord. The current lineup features lead vocalist Alex “Swiftie” Thorne, guitarists Chloe “Taylor” Davies and Mark “More” Jenkins, bassist Ben “Swiftly” Smith, and drummer Sarah “Beat” Jones, along with a blistering two-piece horn section. Their New Cross Inn show is a chance to witness a band at the peak of their powers, ready to ignite the stage with their trademark infectious energy.
