Washington, DC punk duo TEEN MORTGAGE are back in action with a brand new single entitled 'S.W.A.S'.

The lively two piece, who have been championed by the likes of Ian MacKaye (Minor Threat/Fugazi), explained the meaning behind their latest song: "S.W.A.S is an acronym for "Service With A Smile". The lyrics deal with the drudgery of being a part of a work force with declining value and knowing that your job is likely to be replaced by machines at any time. Until then you have to simply nod along and smile on cue."

Clocking in at just under two minutes, the band's latest musical venture 'S.W.A.S' is a frantic journey sound-tracked by buzzsaw guitars, multi-layered vocals and jerking rhythms that documents the band's continuing evolution from their early 'slacker-punk' roots.
