Fifteen songs covering Swizzle's 10 year history. Slow or fast, loud or quiet, smart or stupid — it's (almost) all here. This record took us a long time to make and we'd love for you to hear it. Swizzle is a guitar-driven pop band that hails from the 3 cities of Providence RI, Brooklyn NY and Boston MA. The 14 songs on Swizzle's debut CD, A Different Kind Of Trouble will make you remember just how effective and intelligent a three-minute pop song can be. From the twanging opening strains of "Promise" to the hard driving "Bliss" or the 12 stringed lament of "If I Can't Make You Cry," Swizzle has an uncanny, unpretentious knack for affable hooks and buoyant melodies. The album moves effortlessly from full-tilt rockers like "Bliss", to the groovin-on-a-Sunday-afternoon electro pop of "Daily Dip", to a song inspired by 70's teen-aged TV lost soul "James at 17". Formed in 1996 in Boston, MA, Swizzle began when housemates Kevin Turbitt (vocals/guitar), Dave Sakowski (vocals/guitar) and Kristen Girard (Drums) got together to jam in a friends rehearsal space. The three immediately clicked musically and had written a batch of songs by the end of the night. Soon afterward they recruited Ingrid Hoffius on bass and Swizzle was born. The band recorded a three song vinyl single "Bliss" for Cassiel Records and toured the east coast and midwest. In 1999 their song "Humble Pie" released on a compilation from Chapel Hill, NC label Eskimo Kiss Records. Soon after the band members moved to different cities, but managed to keep playing gigs around New England and recording new material. Along the way Michelle Paulhus took over on bass, and later Josh Boughey stepped up as bass player number three.
