- We are off to a great year. The brand new Swivek album
EVERYBODY HATES YOU will be released February 23, 2010! Plus we
have the first single "Rock Hard" being released shortly after.
Late last year we filmed the video for the song with Devin
Strecker and the final stages are being put on the vid right
now. Plus the single will have remixes by Shitting Glitter and
Brandon Strecker. So stay tuned and get ready cause 2010 is the
year everybody hates you - well everybody but Swivek.
DECEMBER 1, 2009 - The
year is almost over and I know you've all been itching to find out how
the new album is coming.. Well we have great news! The new album
EVERYBODY HATES YOU is complete. The music is recorded, mixed, matched
and thrown together; our artwork is being polished up and the CD will be
headed to the great presser by the end of next week. We are also
shooting the video for the first single "Rock Hard" next Saturday. With
all that said and done the new album will officially be released in the
early days of 2010! So just stay tuned and keep your legs together -
we'll be throwing a ton of stuff out in the next few weeks.
AUGUST 19,
2009 - There is a brand new section here at
www.swivek.com - In my quest to
start writing a bit more I've decided to share with you a little of what
I've written in the past (and hopefully in the future) so there is now a
brand new BRAD'S WRITING section. So check
out our BLOG, the BRAD'S WRITING and the LYRICS pages for the albums to
read all of my deepest (and shallowest) thoughts.
Also the new
album is gearing up for a release this fall - EVERYBODY HATES YOU is the
title and it's a whole new direction of Swivek - so get your wigs and
keys ready kiddies cuz it'll be here before you know it! Mmmmwaaa!
SWIVEK is gearing up to release
some new music late spring or early summer of '09 so hold onto your wigs
and keys kiddies! Also in the works, our good pal and old Flexible
Records co-signee Warmer
is working up a new remix
cover version of our single FABULOUS and it's going to be well,
fabulous! Until all this new stuff is out and about - check out some new
features including our
MUSIC page
where you can download some classic Swivek tunes as well as full albums
(including artwork) or buy Swivek CDs - check it out and check back for
more news!
DECEMBER 23, 2008 - I just finished up a brand new Swivek video! Can
you even believe it? We (me and the voices in my head) were wrapping
presents and singing songs when I decided it was high time Swivek did a
Christmas song so we amped up the mic and did a little rocking cover of
"Blue Christmas" and now there's a hot little video to go along with it
- so wrap yourself up in some twinkle lights, grab a spiced egg nog and
watch our video!
THE BRAND NEW SWIVEK SINGLE FABULOUS
IS NOW AVAILABLE
JULY 2008 - I decided to take the old
webcam and make myself a video - luckily
I'm a musician so I had something to lipsynch to - not that it matters as
nothing really matches up and it's
really just an experiment gone
hysterically wrong... None the less,
Swivek has made a video
and because I have no shame I am sharing
it with you. Perhaps I should've had
that ring on my finger before showing
this to the Leivas as he insists I have
lost my mind...
You'll laugh, you'll hack - it's the
very first Swivek
video "FLIRT"
and don't forget to leave some comments
- nice ones, only nice ones!

It's been forever but we finally have some things abrewing here in
Swivek land.
First I've been working
and working all spring long for new songs and am so very close to
finally be satisfied with them. A working album title is Everybody Hates
You but I may have to venture back in the 'studio' for some new beats -
but there will be a single this summer fer sure, fer sure.
And in producing news -
Swivek (Bradley Jacobson) is producing a track for LA glitteratti glam
slams Shitting Glitter that will (hopefully) be on their new summer
single as a B-side!
So keep checking back we
will be updating more and more and check your emails for the latest news
- and of course our My Space page for more frequent updates I SWEAR!

Our Flex Rex friends have
left the building - that's right kiddies - there is no more Flexible
Records so we're forced into giving our music away ourselves! And when I
say ourselves I mean me, Bradley, Swivek if you will... so run your
digits over the album cover and you will find yourself in a whole new
state of colour - where you can download FOR FREE! the latest Swivek
album INTO THE BLUE
..Into the Blue is
another varied entry into the vast Swivek
repertoire, from the power-bop of the original "Flirt" to the
electronic space drones of "She is Peace" and the manic "Happy Happy
Happy" which is like a rum and Coke spiked with a shot of pure
dopamine. The LP is tempered with some mellower moments, like the
ultra-catchy modern pop of "Not a Love Song" and the tender "Deep
Inside", where Bradley really allows the inner flame of his smoky
voice to burn through. All that plus a very random electro take on a
Pat Benatar classic. Into the Blue is short, sweet and to
the point. Just set your iPod to "repeat".
As you wait in crazed anticipation
for the new Swivek album to be released next week, I have some very cool
news - the latest and greatest Flexible Records Halloween compilation is
now up and ready to download for free! Featuring some very scary,
exciting and exclusive tracks from Flexible Records artists all over the
world Musik For Spinnen
contains an all new Swivek track! An electronic rendering of an old
folky tale of marriage proposals gone wrong and twisted sick murder -
"Banks Of The Ohio", a song recorded by the likes of Olivia
Newton-John, Kristen Hersch, Johnny Cash and now us! So head on over to
Flexible Records and download Musik For Spinnen - it'll get
your creepy crawlies crawling and creeping. UPDATE - Head to our MP3 Page
to download Swivek's "Banks Of The Ohio"
