We got reviewed, we got reviewed.....

Yes we got our first music review that was neither drunk, post gig, or from a family member. Juniors Cave, a magazine based in Georgia in the U.S, have been kind enough to review "Grip On Reality" and were even kinder in their review. "Zwish is a winning team with a musical presence that commands respect." We are a little chuffed. You can read the full review at.......

ZWISH Review

We got featured again in A Viking Radio Podcast........

PodCast 50: "Thor Will, Thor Will Rock You PodCast"

Jan 08 - New Video Clips
“Toy Boy” Video Clip – LEGO ANIMATION
The first video clip of “Grip On Reality” is a lego animation clip to the song “Toy Boy”. Stop animation is a time consuming process but the results are worth it. It is our best clip ever.
The clip was put together by Craig and Bryn. Craig being the more sensible one and Bryn, as we all know, thinks a little differently. You can pretty much guess who lead each of the different scenes once you have seen the clip.
We hope you like it. We love it.
You can download the clip from our video clips page.

7 Nov 07 - Podcast number five
This week we mull over a few songs that we recorded that didn't make the final CD. I'm sure they will see the light of day sometime. This week you are in for a special treat as you get to hear Bryn unleash his vocal chords on "Conversations with a Misogynist". Thankfully there is no singing by Bryn on the other 3 tracks "Fit Boy The Evangelist", "Don't Stay" & "Follow" more….

4 Nov 07 - "Grip On Reality" on the radio.
If you have been thinking that songs a little bit like zwish on the radio, well you could well be right. Our CD "Grip On Reality" has been picked up and played on over 40 radio stations around Australia. Now true, there is 700+ radio stations in Australia so it isn't exactly blanket coverage as such but it's a good start. We will be putting a complete list up on our website so that if you desire, you can request zwish on the radio.

31 Oct 07 - Podcast number four
We've gotten to podcats number 4. In it we talk about our Elvis rip off tune "She'll Be A Star", the S Club7 meets The Ramones tune "You Reduce Me To A Whisper Of What I Am" and of course our favorite "I Am The Emotional Devil". Yes it is the podcast with the longest song title names in it ever. more….

24 Oct 07 - "Grip On Reality" is launched.....
Last Friday night "Grip On Reality" was launch upon the unsuspecting world and it seems to have survived just fine so far. It was a great night, a fantastic celebration of the last year of our lives. A big thank you to all of you that came along and celebrated with us. Big thanks to Hayley and The Remainders for setting up the night perfectly for us. An extra special thanks to Erin and Mads who accepted the dare and sung with us on stage. If only Vikas and Steady had been so brave......

Now you can pay whatever you want.......
Yes, yes, Radiohead beat us to the punch but still we have set up "Grip On Reality", and all our previous CDs, as "pay what you want" downloads. Yes you can buy 1 track or 30 tracks and decide exactly what you want to pay. 1c, $1, $10 whatever you like, whatever you feel like. All you have to do is follow the following link, during peak times it can be a little slow more….

And once you have your songs of choice.....
You can find out what the songs are about by listening to the next in our series of podcasts. Believe we are up to number 3 already. We are rarely funnier, actually we probably aren't that funny, oh well. more….

15 Oct 07 - "Grip On Reality" is launched this Friday Night
Yes after a year of recording, editing, re-writing, happiness and tears we finally unleash "Grip On Reality" this Friday night at the Pot Belly Bar. The night stars at 8:30pm with Hayley, followed by "The Remainders" and we will be on stage at 10pm. $5 will get you in. Come and celebrate and have a few drinks with us. It should be crazy.

Now to get you in the mood.......
We've uploaded the 2nd single from "Grip On Reality", "I Am THe Emotional Devil" to our unearthed page for you to listen to. "I Am The Emotional Devil" takes the comment "you are un-datable because you would be my emotional devil" to its natural or even unnatural conclusion. Musically it is as over the top as we get. Horn section, strings, 80's style guitar riff, even some falsetto vocals. It is all there. Probably the most fun we have ever had recording. more

And so you can sing along.....
We've uploaded all the lyrics from "Grip On Reality" to the lyrics page of our website. We are sure you can have a good chuckle at some of them and some of them won't make to much sense without the music but still. more……

3 Oct 07 - zwish has a podcast
Yes anyone who knows us, knows that we don't mind talking. We thought what better way to share the last year plus of our life that has been the making of "Grip On Reality" than recording a series of podcasts. Zak asks the hard questions and we ramble on about everything and anything that happened in the last year. In the first week Tom reveals something we never knew about his recording, we talk about gangster rap, explain the meaning of and preview the first three tracks on the CD "Toy Boy", "Sorry Is The Hardest Word" & "Radical Individualist". You can download it and listen to it at your leisure from our Podcasts page. more…

1 Oct 07 - Fan(s) Of The Month
We have two fans of the month this month. No we aren't that popular. Last month we were so caught up in finishing the recording of "Grip On Reality" that we forgot to introduce September's fan of the month Sean. Yes shame on us. Sean has always been one of the craziest moshers at any of our all ages gigs and one day he will blow up a million cars for a zwish video clip. Sean is sharing the stage this month with Hayley who is also a crazy mosher and says she wants to be the lead singer of zwish. How could we not make her fan of the month? more…

1 Sep 07 - The name of the CD is........
"Grip on Reality"... The winner, Phil Anzyer, from Long Island in New Jersey, came up with this name after reading through the proposed lyrics and listening to the demo tracks. He said "I've chosen the name "Grip on Reality" as it appears a lot of songs on your new CD seem to deal with varying grips on reality. Whether this is through depression, being blinded by sexism, blind sided by lust, following the beauty myth, popularity or drug use. It seems to be a them through out." The name rang true for us. Yes we know postage isn't going to be cheap on his prize. Thanks to all those who entered. It wasn't an easy choice.

25 Aug 07 - The CD Launch is.....
Friday 19th October at The Pot Belly Bar. Doors Open at 8pm with Hayley kicking off at 8:30pm, The Remainders 9:10pm and we will be on stage at 10pm. After that we will be kicking back and having a few noisy drinks. We'll be doing some serious celebrating. We'll let you know more about the night the closer it gets. Until then enjoy the first single.

17 Aug 07 - The first single is.......
"Don't Let Them Cut Your Roses Down". The song was written by Bryn for his Dad while his Dad was going through a server bout of depression last year. It is probably a little mellower than you would have come to expect from us. You can stream it from our home page. We hope you like it. It's something pretty special for us.

The video clip for "Broken" is now up on our website and on Youtube. The idea behind the clip was to take live footage of us and turn it into a cartoon. This was to try and reflect the over the top cartoon type energy we try to bring to the stage. For a few reasons, mainly lighting, it didn't turn out the way it was meant to. It still isn't bad.

We thought an animated clip, that sounds like a great idea. We don’t have to film it, just come up with the story, draw it up and it will be done. How wrong we were.

He was put on prozac because of a suicide attempt and he said yea it works I guess because I no longer want to kill myself but now I don’t really care if I do. The absence of feeling is a wonderful thing.

9 August 2005 | “Unfulfilled” mp3 download
You can now download “Unfulfilled” from the mp3 page of our site. The song is about a situation we have all know. Holding onto a relationship that is dead and empty of passion.

Really itt is pretty fucked up when you only see the disability and not the person.
