"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

"Some of the most literate rock ever produced in Atlanta. The songs are verbose, contemporary epics that could easily double as provocative, stand-alone poetry." –Georgia Music Magazine

"Elizabeth Elkins is a tough, assertive and expressive...a sort of speeded-up-girl-doing-Geddy-Lee-prog-punk, hence reminding me of old Boston art-core pinkos the Proletariat albeit more melodically. The Swear's music is not especially joyful, to my ears. Odd thing is, I kind of like it anyway." –Chuck Eddy (Rolling Stone/Rhapsody)

"A top music pick of the day. The songs stand on a 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

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

"The Swear 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
