Support from Swallowtail.

"Swallowtail are a Brighton based 4 piece, originally from Nottingham. Combining the eeriness of The Twilight Sad with the ambiance of Just Mustard they blend the fuzzy aspects of shoegaze with the intricate melodies of post-punk, creating an elegantly gritty soundscape."
