Swilly is a half Canadian, half American rock band, with members from Nanaimo and Kitimat British Columbia, Toronto, Ontario, and Centennial, Colorado. Fronted by singer/songwriter Steven Williams, a rocker with a bawdy sense of humour, the band takes its name from his nickname and channel down and dirty, classic roots rock. Rounded out by the no-nonsense lead and rhythm guitar of Kevin Campbell, bassist Doug Adair, drummer Carl Holz, keyboard player Jason Long, and supported by lyricist Tammy Throneberry, Swilly has a swaggering appetite for a good time and an in-your-face attitude that is sorely lacking in modern music. 

Heavily influenced by ZZ Top, The Cult, Nickelback and Theory of a Deadman, Swilly first burst onto the scene with the release of their 2017 album, Play It Loud. With song titles like “Canadian Beer,” “Breaking Some Glass,” and “You’re A Dick,” their unapologetic sound won them praise from fans and critics alike. Eclectic Music Lover described the album as “a little slice of rock’n’roll heaven, accompanied by tasty riffs and shredding guitars.” 

Putting their own inimitable stamp on classic rock, Swilly moved full steam ahead with new single releases, including “Kiss My Ass” in 2018, as well as 2019’s standout, “Damned.” The prolific Canadian/American trio have shown no sign of slowing down, gaining devotees with every new release and to date have written over 100 songs, 14 of which appear on their ambitious 2019 album, Size Matters. Swilly's latest single is 2020's "Black" and they'll have a new album dropping later this year.

This is “kick-ass rock’n’roll you wanna hear on a Saturday night, throwing down a few beers with friends at the local roadhouse.” Rock on, baby! Hell, yeah!

Talk Universe was born in the post grunge era of the late 90s as a passion project of musicians from other established bands at the time, but the real story didn’t begin until the two main songwriters reconnected in 2017.
 As music was being written, instead of finding local musicians, the music was shared in the underground music network and musicians from across the universe, connected by a passion for music, found inspiration and
 made contributions to the songs. This allows Talk Universe to be anywhere and everywhere; anyone and everyone.

 Their 4 song EP Disconnected (February 2018) was an experiment, in the use of untraditional recording techniques, recorded using cell phones and stipped down to its acoustic rock elements.

 The band has begun writing and recording new material using the same approach, but returning to their heavy rock roots and plugging in the amps.

Why-ography?

Who we are is insignificant when describing WHY we are HEADlight! Inspired by decades of Rock, to deliver Rock for the Decades, HEADlight is a celebration of inspirational music that branch from the vast catalogue of great music we listen to. We are a gathering of likeminded musical professionals from around the world whose collective light shines bright with rock, classic rock and contemporary music. The WHY is to express and share in the musical writing process with the intent of reaching out to pure rock enthusiasts, and fans of our genre. By the way, in case you didn't figure it out - We Like Rock!

With focus on melody and song, HEADlight introduces a familiar, yet fresh interpretation of the music we love!
The band has been collaborating since October 2017. But it feels like just last year. Though we'd like to name drop a bunch of world class producers who've worked on this record, we can only boast that our music is produced by Us! However, we did pretend we were sitting with Bob Ezrin, Rick Rubin and Brian Eno during the sessions .. and at one point,  we got so close, we invited them all for Christmas dinner.. Sadly, none of them attended...

"No Names, No Faces. Just Music."
