Editor's note

Can't Swim's ragged, room-written emo punk

A New Jersey band whose straightforward songs carry emotional weight and personal lyrics.

If you want to hear what they're about, try 'Your Clothes' or 'sometimes you meet the right people at the wrong times.' Both have that room-written feel they do well.

Can't Swim matters because their music doesn't hide behind studio polish. Songs like 'Your Clothes' and 'sometimes you meet the right people at the wrong times' have that direct, ragged quality that feels lived-in. They write about personal stuff without dressing it up, which gives their emo-punk sound its pull.

They formed in Mount Holly, New Jersey in 2015 and put out their first album 'Fail You Again' the next year. After their second album 'This Too Won't Pass' in 2018, they released 'Change of Plans' in 2022.

Archive material and source history

Can't Swim formed in Mount Holly, New Jersey in 2015, with Chris LoPorto on vocals and guitar, Greg McDevitt on bass, and Kevin Northup on drums. They put out their first album, 'Fail You Again,' the following year. The band's sound has a straightforward, emotional pull that draws from emo and punk, with songs like 'Death Deserves a Name' and 'Your Clothes' landing in that space.

In 2018, the group faced allegations of sexual misconduct against LoPorto, which led to some canceled tour dates. They've since acknowledged the situation and said they're working on accountability. That same year they released their second album, 'This Too Won't Pass,' and followed it with 'Change of Plans' in 2022.

Their track 'sometimes you meet the right people at the wrong times' is a good example of their style, direct, a little ragged, and built on personal lyrics. It's the kind of song that feels like it was written in a room, not a studio.
