"Sometimes you just dig a good pop song where the guitarists are punching and jabbing through the melody and groove in a way that truly lifts things up. In this regard, Elizabeth Elkins and Jeremy Zamora are rock warriors with total command of meaty riffs, feedback swells, dynamics, and churning, crunching chords." –Guitar Player

"One of the best indie records of the year. On The Swear's debut, memorable guitar riffs and a thundering rhythm section careen behind forceful vocals. The songs paint vivid portraits of envy, jealousy and the things we do for love and lust." –Atlanta Journal-Constitution

"A top music pick of the day. The Swear’s taut crunch and hooky howling has them well set up for a mainstream-radio future. Tracks like 'Chicago' and 'January' stand on a trad, concise but attitude-driven riff-rock foundation, singer Elizabeth Elkins offering a sliver of Distillers snarl doused in a bucket of '80s-prog vibrato." –The Nashville Tennessean

"The Swear's ballsy debut album hits with a mega-ton blast of guitar, drums and Elizabeth Elkins' razor-edged vocals. Rough, demanding and alternately soothing and antagonistic, The Swear is unapologetically rock and roll." –Performer Magazine

"One of the best albums by a Georgia artist this year. Solid, scorching and sensual. So much power and ferocity. There's more emotion on this collection than on a half-dozen major label releases from new, inferior bands. A breathless and mournful good time." –Georgia Music Magazine

"One of the top albums of the year. A combustible presence."
