All kinds of stuff going on. We leave tomorrow to finish off the tracks we've been recording with Andy Johns in Los Angeles. We are recoriding at the legendary Capitol Studios inside the Capitol building in Hollywood. New music soon!

Our song All Bad News was used for the season finale of Burn Notice on USA network. They used the song during a '73 Charger car chase scene with Molotov cocktail explosions. Nice. Look for more Swayback music this summer on season three of Burn Notice as well as in Activision's Pimp My Ride 2 video game.

Swayback has been nominated in the best rock band catagory for the Westword Music Showcase 2009. We were bestowed the honor last year and you can for vote for this years showcase here

Much love to Denver's Indie 101.5FM. They are playing our tracks: Concrete Blocks, Just Like the Old Days, Forewarned, and our cover of Waiting For the Man and we appreciate the support. Plus they are playing the raddest mix of music in Denver right now: Urge Overkill--->Bikini Kill--->The Duke Spirt. Yes please.

Lots of shows in the works for this summer...

Our song What A Pity off of Long Gone Lads will be played on England's BBC 6 Music this Sunday night. You can listen live or stream for seven days after the BBC's transmission on their web site HERE
