Diving deep into Long Beach’s South Swell Syndicate

Diving deep into Long Beach’s South Swell Syndicate

As the end of summer winds and rains move through, so does the sunrise and sunsets. Long Beach, California doesn’t play around; they bring the best out of our reggae rock culture. Meet one of the new fave bands dropping cool waves and sweet tunes — South Swell Syndicate!

As a surfer myself, this music will have you running down the line, catching every wave with that perma grin for days. 

So let’s talk music. South Swell Syndicate brings beautiful musical content that blends perfectly together. “On The Low” is one of the band’s most recent singles: a mellow, beachy, breathtaking song that warms the heart. It brings the listener back to what really matters in life — feeling good. It’s got this romantic essence to it with a twist of fun for all, ready for an evening out on the town! “On The Low” fits that theme of super chill and content mellow party vibes!

Next up is “It’s Alright”, one of those songs that will take you away from all the madness swirling around on this crazy planet. This song was made for sharing memories and making new ones; you will literally feel transplanted into another world or dimension, where the tides pull and the birds sing. The vocals will take you away and rapture your heart. You gotta love these lyrics:

“It’s alright // just give it some time… She’s a sea gypsy…”

Another special song that will stop you in your tracks is “Routine”. This intense jam was written as a laborer’s anthem against the fucked up corruption and disgusting taxation of the middle class. “Routine” illuminates the band’s dark side, while still giving the listener strong beautiful vibes simultaneously. It’s a rough feat to achieve!

“All About Music” (featuring Eric Hirschhorn) gives off that summer mood… a beach blanket romance as your toes are in the sand at the water’s edge. Listen to the saxophone as it hugs the soul, alongside vocals and all the rest of the instrumentation merging so synchronously.

And, with the latest single “”, the sunny sky is the limit for this SoCal surf band. Check out more to come from South Swell Syndicate, they are possibly the next best reggae rock band to hit your ear waves!
