Forming a twisted amalgamation of blues and folk from their alternative indie backgrounds, the members of Swayback emerged in 2004 with a brash new sound...slide-driven swagger rock, the likes of which had not been heard since The Flamin Groovies and The Stones strutted the scene during the early 1970's. Add to Swayback's old skool sound, a dash of garage punk attitude, plus an electric stage show, and we’ve arrived at 2006, the band’s most productive year to date. It’s wild rockin’ debut long-player, “The Quest for Rock & Roll†won much acclaim, and the band looked set for the national stage! Over 20,000kms of touring, a couple thousand album sales, a signing Sydney’s Half A Cow Records, supporting some of the globe's hottest rock acts (The BellRays, The Datsuns, The Exploders, The Casanovas, The Vasco Era, Bob Log III, 67 Special, Eric Burdon & The Animals, etc) and much favourable hype later, the band has established itself a reputation as one of Australia’s premier live acts. Spending much of 2007 in the studio, some of it with multi-ARIA winning producer, Paul McKercher, Swayback now has a new baby, its single "One Way Traffic". Showing plenty of the cheeky spark that won the original album so much approval, the new sound a more considered straight-down-the-line riffage left room for all kinds of experimentation. Swayback's new work included Vegas-style brass, garage keyboards, and syrupy pedal steel. So, could Swayback have concocted the feel-good hit of the Summer? Well, we think so…at least you can be sure that, you won’t be hearing anything else like it this year.
