Indie rock, pop, and folk 4-piece band from Brisbane, Australia.
Bio / Background
Australian indie rock band Swaying Buildings emerged in 2005 after several years of 4-track recording, cassette tape albums and live gigging under various indie rock guises. The band paints a near-futuristic sound that blends together folk, pop and rock.
Hailing from Brisbanes southside, the Queensland capital, the members of Swaying Buildings have a dedicated DIY ethic; a strong commitment to the pursuit of creative songwriting, recording, production and live performance.
In mid 2006, Swaying Buildings self-recorded and released its debut album Something In My Shoes on its label Hum & Buzz Records which caught the attention of several promoters in the United States.
In August 2006, Swaying Buildings completed a successful tour of Los Angeles, taking in famed venues such as Whiskey A Go Go and Club Derby, as well as featuring at the International Pop Overthrow Festival.
Something in my Shoes is bravely visionary.
↓ more ↓If someone uploaded Neil Youngs brain into a supercomputer in his dying days, these are the tunes his circuits would be humming. The album is rich in reverb, its wall of sound softened by synthesizers, filtered vocals and dreamy chords. These boys have an effects suite and theyre not afraid to use it. The entrancing melodies are heavily embellished with geek gadgetry.

[Reviews for the song 'Swaying Buildings']
"First of all, I must say I'm a huge fan of Sonic Youth. This being said, from the first seconds into this song I was already struck breathless by the screeching disharmonic guitars, noisy but steady drumming and the simple descending bassline! For me, after Velvet Underground, the Stooges, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur jr, it just makes no sense to play rock'n'roll any other way than this. It's my favorite tradition in music, an honest, intelligent blend of nihilism and beauty. The mix/mastering is maybe even unnecessarily harsh and distorted, but I love the sound of this band. Every drum fill, every guitar feedback, it's sheer genius. It's more hopeful - or less cynical - than SY, and the band is accompanied by some keyboard playing (heard distinctly only in the end of the song). The more I listen to the song, the more I'm hooked into this brilliant composition. It's better than anything I've heard this year. What more there is to say? I just wanna be your dog!"
"I want to see this band live with 7 beers in me and a crushed heart. I'd be the stupid one standing 1 foot from the speaker tower banging his head."
"Ahh, this is what indie rock is all about. Feedback right off the bat, driving rthyms on pawn-shop guitars and amps, voices so buried in the mix that lyrics become impossible to decipher and the drummer on the cymbals constantly. Nice, simple melody, and subtle indie rock harmonies. Loose guitar with lots of energy on the verge of chaos. Under 3 minutes. Beautiful."
"Hell yes! This band is fun! The lack of fidelity on the recording is more than made up for with energy. In fact, I'd say that the sound is just fine. With a little production this would be something I would not just buy but tell all my friends about."
"The performance actually has some heart, nice dirty sound, energy, cool little breaks here and there and great vocals. I'm a little jealous..."
"Pretty mess! I like this. Love the production...a melodic and controlled mess - just like rock should be!"
