  • Sounds Like

    "Sinister and seductive, the Swayback's sound - Eric Halborg's throbbing bass and vampiric croon, Martijn Bolster's taut rhythms, the brooding guitar of William Murphy-recalls the Velvet Underground if they were forced to share a jail cell with a codeine-addled Danzig and fed a steady diet of Factory Record remixes" | SPIN MAGAZINE "Watching Eric Halborg, bassist and vocalist, front his band is like watching a lion preen after the kill. He's both sedate and wild, or perhaps he just seems sedate because you can see from the passion with which he plays that he has it in him to take down a gazelle at full speed" | DENVER POST "Rock music is a lot like a cup of coffee: Some like it as strong as The Stooges, or dark like Joy Division. The Swayback takes it both ways-usually at the same time. The Denver act revs up the same sort of swagger that's floated around local rock clubs since well, forever but instead of reveling in trashy garage-punk sleaze-gasms The Swayback cuts it with a healthy dose of art-school gloom. Even when languishing in acoustic, rainy-day sulkers like "Just Like The Old Days" the band is more dangerous than Interpol's sweatiest nightmare. And when it kicks out the jams on "Concrete Blocks" the trio's command of atmosphere is far more sophisticated that your average Motor City wannabes" | THE ONION
