Industrial Shite and Magic

We’ve had quite a few people ask us about how we did the effects on the Oh No! video. I thought I’d write a blog explaining a few things that will hopefully inspire people with as little talent as us to try something new. I guess this might be boring for everyone that has no interest in making special effects so if you are one of those people, here is a picture of Rowan dressed as...

No Limit

I uploaded our cover of the 2 Unlimited song ‘No Limit’ to our facebook music page here - http://www.facebook.com/swound Here is the original version (much better than our version) It’s about 4 years old and contains a number of key features which are listed below: 1. This is one of only two songs that we detuned to ‘C’ when recording (just like our heroes Limp...

VOTE!

This is me right now. I am pretty disgusting at the moment. My hair is uncontrollable and my fringe is doing something that I didn’t ask it to. I even had to wear a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles hat for a half marathon I ran yesterday to stop it getting in my face (and to make me more streamline). I looked good but it wasn’t too practical. The race wasn’t hard though. I found...

Oh No!

I thought I’d do a short blog about this song. If you missed it, we put the video online a few weeks back. We are also letting people download it for free right here - http://www.facebook.com/swound. Oh, and here is the video. I hope you like it. Oh No! is the 2nd song we’ve previewed from our forthcoming album. The first was Everybody Hates Her, which you can see and hear by...

A bit rubbish and prone to failure..

Just in case we have some new people looking at this. We did this campaign called Challenge Swound! a year or so ago. We basically got people to challenge us to do anything they wanted, within reason. We’d then film our attempts at completing said challenge and post the results online. We had around 1000 entries submitted overall, so obviously we couldn’t try them all. We did attempt...

AWW, Here it goes!

So, here we are. Step one in a life improvement program. This step basically involves keeping this blog up to date. The thing we didn’t realise before is that we have SO MANY important things to say. Our stupidity left you hanging, not knowing when to expect our next post. We’re sorry for doing this to you and for ruining your life. We recorded an album last year! It’s not...

Everybody Hates Her

Hey everyone. It’s been a while since we posted hasn’t it? Bet you’ve missed us more than I can even comprehend. We’re all spending the Christmas holidays in France this year. We woke up this morning to snow so it’s starting to look pretty festive here. The house we are staying at is in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by hills, trees and lakes, so it’s very...

Album update.

So we finished in the studio. Next week we will be going down to London to mix the album with a guy called Chris Sheldon, if you dont already know him, look him up, too rad. The first you’ll hear from the album will be around Christmas time. That’s all I’ll say though as I don’t want to give away too much. Aside from the four of us, our producer and our parents, no-one has...

The Daddy Mac will make you jump, jump.

Team Rocket! This is my tumblr debut. I’m not trusted with things like this because I don’t know about technology or how to be funny. However, nobody’s around and it never looks that hard when the others do it so i’ll give it a shot. So here’s what I’ve got to tell you about: I’m back in the studio and the magic has really begun. I was doing some lush...

Life On Earth

Ha! I just remembered I was supposed to write this blog about 5 million days ago. I’ve been really busy and pre-occupid recently in the studio. It’s been pretty intense and full-on. So full-on that this happened: We’re still here and on our 8th week I think (it’s easy to lose track). We originally gave ourselves a three week limit to get everything done. Around the...

One of the many downsides to recording..

We have fun in the studio, mostly. However, when you’ve been in the same two rooms for 12 hours a day, every day, for 5 weeks, you start to go a little mental. First there’s the boredom. There’s not all that much to do when you aren’t recording. I tend to just sit on the internet until I can think of something interesting to look at. There’s never anything...

We done a half marathon.

Three quarters of the band took part in Nottingham’s Robin Hood Half Marathon on Sunday. I wasn’t able too ‘cos I’m pretty injured all the time. I was pretty jealous of those guys as they got to enjoy an ‘all you can eat’ buffet in the evening safe in the knowledge they’d burnt off over 1500 calories earlier in the day. I’m now 10 stone heavier and...

What I did on Saturday. By Joe Staszkiewicz.

I’m in the studio again. I think this is the 4th week on the trot. Actually it might be the 5th week but I’m not too sure as I think my brain has rotted ever so slightly during the process of putting our tracks down. Is it still Summer or are we in Winter now? On Saturday I went to a reunion at my old university in Nottingham. I got to catch up with some old pals, which was ace. It...
