Facts


"Best demo we've received in the past couple of weeks"
Huw Stephens Radio 1


“Bradford wipper snappers who play fantastic indie pop”
Good Form Club


Elements of Dylan and The Smiths put thus in the 'classic' bracket rather than just another bright eyed and bushy tailed indie pretender to the throne."
Bugbear


“Superb Bradford Indie oufit”
The Guardian


"Destined for great things, The Swing Movement, have already achieved notable success."
The Metro


“The band is fronted by Ben Walker who has plenty of stage presence... Patrick Wanzala-ryans riffs are mindblowingly catchy, and give the songs a brand new edge. Kieran Borrett is the band's brilliant drummer and his metronome timing keeps the band tight and powering along... Joe gamble creates powerful, tight; simple and steady basslines that layer the songs with an extra bounce.”
Ilkley Gazzette


“They were dead good”
Mono


"This Bradford four piece already have the tunes and live reputation to make people sit up and take notice, as has been shown with triumphant headline slots at Leeds’ Cockpit and a well received show at this year’s Leeds Festival."
IGOTTHEHORN Magazine


“The Swing Movement are more than formidable.”
Sandman


“Confidence comes from quality musicianship. Ben Walker has a fine voice on him and Patrick Wanzala Ryan plays precise guitar lines and I have to stand back and say "Oh yes!". The pair of them work well in the contrast department...Mark your card punters. The Swing Movement have made a cracking start.”
Whisperin and Hollerin


“The Swing Movement own the night - they will own more and more nights if they carry on as they are now - and blast away the earlier malaise.”
Dalliance


"The excitement of first hearing The Swing Movement buzzes in everything they have done since and Disaster is no exception. It is urgent, pulsing and essential capturing the essence of Sonic Youth, Fungazi or Stiff Little Fingers and blending them in to an urban Northern output that is dripping with authenticity. Stirring stuff."
Michael Wood


“This is the kind of music that you can dance to or use as a muse for your poetry.”
Music Induced Euphoria

Yes I do! So you like Interpol? They are pretty fucking fantastic. I'm looking foward to their next album. Coming out next year I think. It's going to be awesome. Some people think they might be going to the big day out too. Some rumours for the big day out are The Dead Weather, Grizzly Bears, Paul McCartney, Vampire Weekend, Phoenix, Foals and La Roux. Those are some of the best bands out of the rumours. Some of the others are a bit erghh. Last year my mate went and Arctic Monkeys, Black Kids and The Ting Tings went. I was fucking jealous. She's the one that got me into alternative music.
