HELP SHE CAN’T SWIM formed in late 2003 whilst still at college in Southampton. Releasing their debut album, Fashionista Super Dance Troupe in 2004, to much acclaim, the last two years have seen the band tour extensively, release a clutch of limited edition EPs and record their second album.
Produced by Justin Callaway at Vivid Studios in Southampton, The Death Of Nightlife tempers the relentless energy of their debut album, the end result being a much more considered record, yet one that still fizzes and pops with an infectious energy and spirit.
HELP SHE CAN’T SWIM are: Tom Denney (voice, guitar), Leesey Francis (voice, keys), Tim Palmer (bass) & Lewis Baker (drums).
