One Big Fuse release Weezer-inspired single Swimming Pool!
Power-pop trio, One Big Fuse have unveiled their effervescent new single Swimming Pool, out now via Ragin’ Smith Records. Growing up on the Isle of Lewis, One Big Fuse spent their youth escaping their surroundings by ripping MP3s of 90s era rock bands (sorry Blink 182), and the 90s-style pop-punk influence can be heard immediately on Swimming Pool .
