Swerve, the Los Angeles rock outfit led by Greg Mahdesian and Ryan Berti, made a significant mark on the guitar scene with their Adam Lasus-produced debut album, “Ruin Your Day,” in 2021. Full of ripping, catchy, and dark politically-minded love songs, the album not only received acclaim from critics but also enjoyed consistent airplay nationwide. Notably, it produced three number 1 hits on their hometown station KROQ’s Locals Only Chart (“Escape,” “Ruin Your Day,” and “Ebbs and Flows”), and the station listed them as one of of the top 10 bands in LA. Though momentum was building, they hit the brakes so Greg could focus on spending time with his newborn daughter. When the band regrouped, their sound evolved into something leaner and more focused, leading to their new ‘Darkroom' EP produced by Adam Lasus and Jessica Rotter. This record, looking back on their wilder early years, delves into the darkness of failing relationships and endless nights, and the need to be adored.
