"The Swings are a band building a real niche in the Cambridge music scene with their catchy melodic pop and were recently one of the only unsigned acts to play London's LoveBox Weekender alongside headlining acts such as Jamiroquai and Hotchip. Their sound doesn't fit neatly into any boxes, but acoustic guitar accompanied by cello, electric guitar, lo-fi keyboards and dreamy close backing harmonies gives their music an eccentric, quirky and upbeat feel, and audiences are really taking notice of their whimsical but thoughtful tunes" THE EXPLORER MAGAZINE AUGUST 2006
"Off kilter and quirky... The Swings have great stage presence and are going to be huge" MUSIC SWEDE JANUARY 2008
"Are they messing with things they don't understand? I don't know, but I LOVE it!" ROCK SOCK MAGAZINE JULY 2008

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
