Californian band Crooked Teeth have been carving out their own space in the alternative music scene since their formation in 2016.

Now, the band is ready to bring a fresh take to a classic track with their newly released pop-punk cover of the Rise Against ballad 'Swing Life Away.'
The song has a personal significance for the band, as Tyson, the lead vocalist, explains: "This is the song that Jason (the drummer) and I have talked about covering since around the time that he joined the band. He told me that when he was a teenager, there was a school project where he wanted to cover this song." This shared history with the track has made the cover a meaningful project for the band, who wanted to add their own spin to the iconic Rise Against ballad while paying tribute to its emotional resonance.
With the new cover, Crooked Teeth brings their signature sound to a beloved classic, transforming it into a dynamic pop-punk anthem. The track retains the raw energy and sincerity of the original while infusing it with the band’s energetic flair and infectious style.
The release of 'Swing Life Away' marks another chapter in Crooked Teeth's journey as they continue to explore their musical boundaries and create tracks that speak to their fans' experiences. Whether they're sharing personal stories or tackling universal themes, the band remains committed to crafting music that speaks to the heart and energises the soul.
