The View From in Here - EP Release!

We're so proud to welcome our new EP into the world today. The View From In Here is the first release of entirely original music in our history. Each of the 5 tracks springs from a personal story and offers a window into the upheavals and unexpected joys that have defined our last two years. We hope you love it as much as we've loved making it.

Special thanks to those who worked with us on the EP including Nick Girard, Paolo Braghetto, Christopher Given Harrison, Max Hunter, Peter Beckmann and our management for helping us get it across the finish line. And of course a HUGE thank you to our #SwingleSquad on Patreon, without whose support we have wouldn’t been able to make it happen.

You Don't Speak for Me - New Single!

You Don't Speak for Me – new single out today!

The Swingles are proud to present our new single You Don't Speak for Me, the first track released from our all-original EP The View From In Here (out 12 November).

Written by Ed with lead vocals by Jon, the message of the song is that we can't know what someone else may have experienced or what it might be like to walk in their shoes, and that sometimes it's best just to listen and try to learn.
It's a clapback at the people who insist that misogyny isn't a problem, that racism doesn't exist, or that discrimination isn't real.
For the visuals we decided to enlist the help of several friends and colleagues of different ages, religions, sexual orientations, nationalities, races and genders. We were so grateful that they were willing to help us out. You can find all their names at the end of the video.

New Release! - Life on Mars?

Our brand new single Life On Mars? is out today on all streaming services! This David Bowie classic is the first release in a mini-series of our favourite covers from pop and rock icons.

50 years ago this month, Bowie was in the studio recording his Hunky Dory album, including the symphonic pop masterpiece that is Life On Mars? We adore this song, and you may have heard us singing it at the London A Cappella Festival (with our pals Naturally 7) and on The West Wing Weekly podcast. However, this is the first time we’ve recorded it properly.

We shot the video during one of our first rehearsals after lockdown earlier this year, with Federica beamed in from Italy. After months apart we wanted to celebrate the joy of (almost) all singing in the same room again with some nostalgic Super 8-style visuals. Thanks as always to our supporters on Patreon for making the recording and video possible.
