Can't Swim - Change Of Plans (Limited Edition Blood Red Cloudy Vinyl) LP
With Change Of Plans, Can't Swim deliver what many fans and critics consider the band's defining statement. Built on honesty, emotion and creative freedom, the album showcases a group fully confident in their identity and willing to follow inspiration wherever it leads.
According to vocalist Chris LoPorto, the album represents the most transparent and genuine work in the band's catalog. Rather than focusing on expectations or formulas, Can't Swim approached the writing process organically, allowing ideas to develop naturally. Some of the songs featured on the record had been evolving in demo form for years, resulting in a collection of material refined through experience and personal growth.
Musically, Change Of Plans blends melodic punk rock, alternative rock and post-hardcore influences into a dynamic and emotionally engaging listening experience. The album moves effortlessly between energetic anthems, introspective moments and powerful singalong choruses while maintaining a cohesive identity throughout.
The songwriting balances raw vulnerability with explosive energy. Personal reflections, emotional honesty and relatable themes are delivered through memorable hooks, driving rhythms and passionate vocal performances. The result is an album that feels both deeply personal and universally accessible.
A major factor in the album's impact is the work of acclaimed producer Will Putney, whose production credits include A Day To Remember, Every Time I Die, Body Count and Knocked Loose. His production brings clarity, punch and depth to every track, highlighting both the band's melodic strengths and their heavier moments.
From start to finish, Change Of Plans demonstrates a band operating at its creative peak. The combination of heartfelt songwriting, polished production and energetic performances makes this one of the strongest modern punk and post-hardcore releases of its era.
For fans of emotionally driven punk rock, melodic post-hardcore and authentic songwriting, Change Of Plans is an essential addition to any vinyl collection.
