Dead Swans is an English hardcore punk band from Brighton, formed in 2006. They released one full-length record entitled Sleepwalkers in 2009, as well as three EPs; Southern Blue (2008), It's Starting, (2009), and Anxiety and Everything Else (2012). They also released a split EP with metalcore band Architects in 2008. Further, the band were nominated in the Best British Newcomer category at the 2008 Kerrang! Awards.[1][2]

The band have proved influential to the UK hardcore scene and many melodic hardcore bands are noticeably similar. In an interview, the vocalist of Lay It on the Line quotes Dead Swans as a strong influence on the band.[3]

On 11 January 2016 the band posted a short video clip via their Facebook account with the caption "2016...announcement soon", hinting at a potential reunion.[4]
