The Sway Comeback: On the 3rd May 2008, after 13 years away, all 4 original members of The Sway, David Casson (Vocals/Guitar), Jim Kook (Guitar), Paul Hogan (Bass) & Sean Kelly (Drums) ventured into the rehearsal studio to plot their return. David Casson, having penned some new tunes, initially to be a solo project, decided, after being approached to play The East Barnet Music Festival , to contact his former bandmates about playing his new songs live and it was agreed and the set will include the new tunes and some old Sway favorites. The band were joined by keyboard player Matt Smith. The gig was on Saturday 5th July 2008. The Sway had returned big time.....................The Sway started life as HEAVENS ECHO in June 1989 before changing the name to THE SWAY in Jan 1991. After the usual lot of gigs in toilets and hell holes and a few decent demo..s The Sway got good, REAL GOOD! The band signed a deal with Bad Habits records and went on to headline three UK tours including 2 sold out gigs at the legendary Marquee club in London and an ill advised booking at a Christian Rock festival (the line from the song, Don't penetrate me, shut up bitch or Ill f*ck you again went down a storm literally!). They also premiered their 2nd single and video (for the song - Going Blind) at the world famous PLANET HOLLYWOOD in London. Then, after over 120 shows, 2 top 100 singles (Silk and Going Blind), 1 ridiculous video featuring dancing girls (for Going Blind), the band called it quits. The Sway played their last ever show at the BBC MUSIC LIVE event in Birmingham City Centre in May 1995 and went on their merry way............Why they quit is a mystery-COME BACK??????

Bien sûr que c'est bien...

Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas "The Sway", jetez un coup d'oeil sur le blog Jamendo.
Vous découvrirez que The Sway est un groupe qui fut connu et reconnu au début des années 90.
Ce groupe, qui fait son retour sur Jamendo et qui déclare "que si internet avait existé au début des années 90, The Sway aurait pu être le plus grand groupe du monde aujourd’hui !" fut peut-être une référence pour quelques artistes présents sur Jamendo.

C'est donc une chance d'avoir un groupe de renommée internationale sur Jamendo !
Alors oui, incontestablement, c'est de la bonne musique. Du bon rock, bonnes musiques énergiques, bonne voix, bon mixage... Bref, c'est très professionnel.

J'ai bien aimé, sans pour autant vraiment accrocher. Cet album me fait dire que les "meilleurs jeunes pousses issues de Jamendo" ne sont pas loin de ce niveau de qualité !

Mais bien sûr, cet album, c'est du bon !

wonderful stuff

i was looking for a couple of songs for my mp3 when i found a page about the sway reforming. that sounded cool so i went to the music page and was surprised what i found. Going blind is a great little pop song with robert smith or bono on vocals. great beat and pace to the song , could easy be a hit today. the death of venus was another good song but this time it is dark and moody with a powerful bass line . the song has alot of space in it, something the verve do very well. the sway sound a bit like the cure/u2/the verve. i would love to see this band live , it would be a great night out i am sure.

Save the first track

They have elaborate melodies, they play well, but ... But their songs do not keep my ears prisoners. Their music lacks spirit or guts, whatever the name, this something that makes me remember the melody. Their tunes just won't stay in my head.

I gave this album a 5 stars rating -- and not a 4 -- just because the first track "Going blind", I think, could be close to making a hit again with its high pitched guitar keys. It has a real, solid melody, one I can remember. The intro of this track, especially, shows what the The Sway *could* have written and played.

But again, it remains a little too elaborate for my ears. Just my two cents.

To put it in one sentence : "Going blind" is the only track by The Sway I will download from Jamendo.

Great Rock

The music is very solid, backing up a good voice and sound, well arranged lyrics. The drums work perfectly behind strong guitar and the passionate voice of the lead singer. This is a great listen for only 15 minutes of your time.
