    Finally the Dutch rockband Swirl released a new EP. Their previous demo was released around 1998/1999. In a couple of years much can change. The band made a giant leap forward. With much better production they recorded four catchy modern rock songs. It's not progressive in the sense that lots of ideas have been used by other bands before. But the compositions show that the band is able to write a good song with head and tail. This is music in the vein of Grammatrain and Beam. Swirl has potential that should be nourished to grow further. So, hopefully we'll hear more from them (and not have to wait another three years...!).
