Wight Vinyl has released the first vinyl from Panda Swim. A NEW record company for the Isle of Wight celebrates its debut release this weekend. Downer by Isle of Wight band Panda Swim is out as a limited edition white vinyl record from today (Friday), and it is already garnering interest from music fans across the UK, Europe, the United States and Japan. Only 300 copies of the 10-inch record have been pressed, with the first 100 copies being signed by the three members of the grunge-pop outfit from Newport and Cowes. Panda Swim’s upbeat first single School of Fools was released as a digital track during lockdown last year, bringing the three-piece to the attention of Andy Barding and Tony Pendleton of Wight Vinyl.
