Dying Scene 
I hate it when a band changes its name. It’s just confusing and not to mention a pain in the ass for music blogs who already have profiles set up for them under their former name. Well, that’s what Oakland pop-punk act Emily’s Army have done. Apparently they’re “slowly” changing their name to Swimmers. You can read some of their explanation for it below:
So there you have it. If they’re still considered pop-punk this time next year no one can say, but let’s at least hope their young adult selves get better at grammar (not that we can talk much).
Emily’s Army’s… errr…. Swimmers’ new EP Swim was released on July 22nd through Rise Records, who also handled the 2013 release of the band’s sophomore album Lost At Seventeen.
RT @DyingScene: Emily’s Army change name to Swimmers http://t.co/w7NdFkw05o
very annoying.
I guess they are slow swimmers 😉 Get it?
Like sperm?
Both are about the same level of not great.
Sounds like something Baxter Barber would do.
Yeah, bad move on their part. That one word band name thing is so 3 years ago..
Fucking lame
Beach Change
Not as annoying as their piggy back ride into fame.
Really reminds me of going to see The Cars, The Hooters, Loverboy, and other hardcore punk rock back in the day. Hard hitting and in your face.
The band name “Emily’s Army” was an organization they started to raise funds and awareness for their friend Emily’s rare disease.
I’m against it
Might explain why one of their members quit recently.
Who? What?
Gerardo Gadelha
It was more annoying when Dad Punchers changed their name.
No? Who cares?
Crummy name, generic and bland.
Worst new name
Great band … No reason for a name change. Annoying. Totally.
So they are done honoring their friend Emily?
Olivia Burton
Lolz
Ben Shortt-O’brien I] thought there old name was shit…
I, for one, love it. It’s a great opportunity to take a bad idea and make it even worse. With a name like Swimmers, I know I absolutely never have to listen to these boring dorks.
No
His dad did the same thing
Nope my bands name is now Emily’s army. Hellooooo clicks and likes!
Who?
I find that band in general annoying.
‘Floaters’ would be more appropriate.
Swimmers is 10x better than Emily’s Army though. Really
Swimmers=Sperm=Son of Billie Joe. Makes sense.
Just because you are growing up doesnt mean you need to change your band name… look at blink, sum, nfg, mxpx.
