The iconic paisley bandana has long been a signifier of subcultural affiliation. Drawing its name from the Sanskrit word meaning "to tie," functionality and symbolism are woven into one. McSwain deconstructs the classic textile with these cashmere bandanas, comprised of cartographical elements inspired by World War II evasion maps. Encoded and camouflaged under the guise of a floral motif, the tone-on-tone jacquard shimmers and retreats within a contrasting neatline.

Brooklyn-based Sharkswimmer delivers a unique blend of introspective, melodic post-hardcore and hook-driven alt-rock, carving out a distinct identity in today’s vibrant rock landscape. Drawing influence from the aggressive melodicism of 90s post-hardcore greats like Planes Mistaken For Stars, the anthemic punch of 2010s acts such as Basement, and the emotional vulnerability of contemporaries like Fiddlehead, their sound bridges eras with authenticity and depth.
At the core of Sharkswimmer’s music is an unfiltered humanity that pairs disarmingly earnest lyricism with bursts of sonic aggression, reflecting their DIY roots and commitment to raw emotional expression. Lead vocalist and guitarist Justin Buschardt channels personal experiences—particularly themes of heartbreak and resilience—into poignant storytelling that resonates universally, offering listeners a cathartic and powerful connection.
With anthemic, guitar-driven tracks that feel equally at home among the 90s emo and post-hardcore pantheon as they do alongside modern alt-rock luminaries, Sharkswimmer crafts music that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Their ability to merge vulnerability with intensity makes them a compelling force, capturing the spirit of a creative renaissance in guitar music while forging their own path.
