Swivel are a four-piece band based at an underground laboratory, Hangar 18 in Birmingham UK.
The music is pretty impossible to fit into one of the generic catagories listed at mp3 sites.
This isn't meant as a cop-out. Swivel combine elements of bigbeat, trip-hop and rock. So what do you call that then ? Check it out and make up your own mind...

Tech support from Mr Pu and Dr Duckman .
Swivel have been together for about three years, playing original music that combines modern technology, musicianship and a healthy warts-and-all rock and roll attitude.
The music connects with audiences across a broad spectrum of tastes and consequently most people draw comparisons to whatever their own personal preference is.
The tracks available here as mp3s are essentially recorded 'live' in the studio. The only overdubs being vocals for the sake of clarity and the occasional stunt guitar. No sequencers are used and samples and loops are being triggered from the drumkit in real time.
Performances develop spontaneously at gigs, with the benefit of a vast array of sounds all being generated from a thrashing four piece combo !
A 5track CD 'music for heads and feet' is now available. If you'd like a copy or more details about the band, gig lists, feedback etc etc please contact us via email :
