Swanton Bombs is a British rock duo, comprising Dominic McGuinness (vocals, guitar) and Brendan Heaney (drums). Influenced by classic blues and rock and roll, they are noted for their raw, minimalistic sound and energetic performances. Formed in London in 2007, they gained recognition with their debut album "Mammoth Skull" (2009), which showcased their stripped-back style and McGuinness's articulate lyricism. Despite their short lifespan, Swanton Bombs left a notable mark on the UK indie rock scene and their influence can be traced in several contemporary rock bands.
