"Hearing this album for the first time made me instantly want to 'play it again'. It is great. It has a solid bass which I always appreciate. It is moody, with pace. Great words too. I recommend you listen to these guys, they pump. "

Bio
Blasting out of Sydney, Swivelhead mix a heady cocktail of melodic hooks in their rock tunes and guitar player/ singer / songwriter Melissa Perry lays it all on the line with lyrics about betrayal, love, obsession, denial all wrapped up in issues about friends, family and life.
This frontwoman is not afraid to delve into the dark and Swivelhead’s songs are filled with edgy riffs and thumping grooves.
Swivelhead started their journey in 2005 when Melissa Perry and Clinton Harn (session drummer/ video director) joined forces & built a recording studio.
