" The explosive nature of Swetbox has impressed all who have witnessed it, both in terms of visceral energy and musical content. Assaulting the audience with heavy female vocals, brutal guitar-driven hooks and pile driver rhythms, the band counterpoint the music with their unusual appearance and stage antics.
The band joined the 3-4-1 Tour of Holland and the UK with Dutch outfit CND and American punk lunatics Crazy White Sean in KCUF. Swetbox played well-received shows to audiences of all ages, and enjoyed exposure in European rock press and on Dutch radio
After this SWETBOX, CND and KCUF decided to carry on the 3-4-1 Tour to the U.S. The tour was immensly successful, kicking off at the world famous Whiskey a-Go-Go in Los angeles .
It was at these shows that Swetbox was spotted by Logan Mader (MachineHead, Soulfly) and Lucas Banker (JunkieXL), returning to the U.S. six weeks later to record the acclaimed 'Face off' e.p.
Vivid Angel left her SmashMouth vocals on the KCUF record. Members from KCUF Crazy White Sean and Snot/Amen "Tumor" invited Shavo Odajian (System of a Down), Sid "DJ Starscream" Wilson (Slipknot) and James "Munky" Shaffer (Korn) to apear on the album as well. Album titled Modern Primitive Punk.

"Sunken-eyed blood junkies Swetbox look like they had to break from dining on your parents' internal organs to be here tonight. They serve up a gristly milkshake that's one part Hole, two parts Queens Of The Stone Age and eight pints of human claret - Rock Sound - UK
"In your face, down your throat, ripping out your intestines hybrid of metal and rock from the very colourful and particularly scary Swetbox. This is easily the best self released CD I've heard in a long time, it simply blew me away on the first listen" - Vanityproject 7 - UK
"Imagine a Horror Metal band fronted by Angelina Jolie's crazed character in Girl, Interrupted. Singer Vivid Angel is all fake blood, flying hair and rolling eyeballs, whilst guitarist JROK looks and sounds like a gene splice of Charles Manson and Slayer's Kerry King. Swetbox are not a pretty sight, In Other words, check them out!" - Bob Glanville - Rock Sound UK
Looking for something different? Well you have found it. Swetbox brings a whole new arsenal to the metal scene. A must for every head banger out there! " - frantic9k - usa
...that is, after a struggle of violent proportions on the behalf of what I think is one of the most rage-focused unsigned acts within the midst of heavy music today. No bullshit. You have to hear them. You HAVE to see them. ...they are quite simply, fucking amazing. " - Sound of chaos- UK
