Lovely review of our gig supporting Idlewild in Birmingham. Link is below for the full thing or just read what I've copied and pasted...

Support for the evening came from Olympic Swimmers; a female fronted Glaswegian indie-rock five-piece, and what a treat they were. Carefully constructed instrumental parts locked together under a beautiful female vocal; lush, meandering guitar parts with throbbing drums and gentle vocals crescendo track after track into powerful stomping climaxes. There are obvious comparisons with the likes of Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Electrelane; the stunning frontwoman Susie Liddell was in complete control of her outstanding vocals throughout the set, from a gentle whisper-like tone to a belting, powerful chorus vocal.

'Under The Radar' feature in The Scotsman http://www.scotsman.com/CustomPages/CustomPage.aspx?PageID=76397 

I've put up the two songs we recently recorded at Chem 19 with Paul Savage (I Won't Sleep, and Father Said) on the myspace page - www.myspace.com/olympicswi..mmers
We'll have them in a physical-copy-buyable format, hopefully by October.

One of the songs was on Vic Galloway's Radio 1 show last night (23rd Sept) along with some very kind words from Malky B. you can listen again to the show here and we are about 35 minutes in. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio..1/vicgalloway/
