Born out of the DIY party scene in Leeds, Bathing Suits’ earliest rehearsals took place in the same basements as their homemade club nights: tiny spaces transformed by blaring PAs, rumbling subwoofers and elaborate lighting rigs. That environment remains central to the band’s sound, where live instrumentation is treated with the physicality and intensity of club music. On their debut EP, ‘KILL BATHING SUITS’ (April 2026), the band moves between the seven-minute noise-trance sprawl of ‘Empathy’, battering feedback and big-beat propulsion (‘I Can Be A Freak’), and the four-to-the-floor ferocity of ‘Swan Princess’.
