Backstory:

In the depths of the bustling city of Atlanta, Georgia, four childhood friends – Andy, Bill, Greg, and Richard, found common ground in their shared love for music and swimming. For years they would dive into their favorite lake, but one day they had the most unpleasant swimming experience due to a sudden algae bloom. That unfortunate incident, instead of dampening their spirits, sparked a wave of creativity and they decided to form a band named ‘Unpleasant Swim’. Their music soon caught the attention of many, finding resonance with the feelings of misfits and outsiders alike.

The journey of Unpleasant Swim was marked by a series of ups and downs, but the band proved robust, like a ship weathering a storm. They continued to produce music that was emotionally charged, raw, and radiated with an intensity that was uniquely their own. Today, they are recognized for their distinctive sound and have built a strong fan base, becoming a cornerstone of Atlanta’s thriving music scene.

Deep Dive

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[C] Out in the lake, the water [G] so green,
[Am] It was the strangest sight we’d ever [F] seen.
[C] Swam right in, without a [G] care,
[Am] Only to find, we were caught in algae’s [F] snare.

(Chorus)
[G] It’s a deep dive, into the [C] unknown,
[Am] With every stroke, uncertainty has [F] grown.
[G] We hit the low, now we’re ready to [C] climb,
[Am] Just like our music, it’s a matter of [F] time.

(Verse 2)
[C] Fought for each breath, beneath the [G] surface,
[Am] The struggle, oh, it had a [F] purpose.
[C] The unpleasant swim, became our [G] name,
[Am] And from that day, we were never the [F] same.

(Chorus)
[G] It’s a deep dive, into the [C] emotion,
[Am] Our songs are like a magic [F] potion.
[G] We hit the low, now we’re ready to [C] soar,
[Am] With every note, we’re becoming [F] more.

Kelly’s Testimonial: “Unpleasant Swim is my favorite band because their music tells a story that is both relatable and raw. Every song they make feels like a deep dive into my own emotions. The band members are genuine, they have truly lived through their lyrics, and it resonates with me. I’ve been through my own set of unpleasant swims in life, and their music somehow makes me feel understood. It’s more than just music for me; it’s a lifeline.”
