Austin-based indie rock band Swimming With Bears has just released their compelling new single, ‘Patient Disguise’, alongside a captivating music video. Out now via Swimming With Bears Music, this track highlights the band’s signature blend of emotive, high-energy rock that resonates with fans old and new.
‘Patient Disguise’ showcases the band’s knack for balancing raw emotion with euphoric soundscapes. Joe Perry’s gripping, heartfelt vocals are front and center, drawing listeners into the song’s theme of loneliness and connection. Layered with a powerful bassline, driving drumbeat, and intense guitar riffs, the track creates an irresistible wave of energy that captures the tension between isolation and resilience. The music video, directed by Kevin C. McDermo, complements this intensity with scenes of the band’s evocative live performance, interspersed with haunting visuals of Joe Perry surrounded by mysterious hands reaching out, emphasizing the yearning for human connection.
This single, co-written by all four band members and produced by Matt Noveskey, evolved from a demo recorded during lockdown into a fully realized track that now stands as a fan favorite at live shows. The band’s journey with ‘Patient Disguise’ reflects both resilience and creativity, turning a period of uncertainty into a powerful anthem of self-discovery.
With over 5 million streams across platforms, Swimming With Bears continues to impress with a sound shaped by influences from The Red Hot Chili Peppers to Amy Winehouse, and comparisons to Kings of Leon and Vampire Weekend. Having shared stages with renowned acts like Panic! At The Disco and Weezer, the band is no stranger to large audiences, and they’re set to bring Patient Disguise to life on tour with upcoming performances across Texas in 2025.
