Shwa is dreamy
Shwa's music makes me light-headed. Then, when I see them perform live, I often faint. It's like Beatlemania all over again. - Seamus , posted 11/24/04

6 or 7? Most Excellent
I've seen the SHWA in action many times in and around the DC area. Man, if this guy isn't the show to see....i dont know who is. I've even seen him play a crowd so well as to have a dorky science student fling her undergarments toward him. Shwa is the one to watch... - steve , posted 11/24/04

Dave is a homo
I love it when shitty musicians try and make up for the fact that they suck so bad by talking shit on other bands and go on tribe.net and try to sabotage ratings. I also love it when a person that talks shit uses a fake name because he is too much of a bitch to fess up to his words.

Shwa promises a good show
I've seen Shwa perform a few times in DC. His shows are always entertaining - he and his band interact with the audience, laugh and are clearly having a good time. Great sound, good lyrics, big fan. - Vanessa , posted 11/22/04

matt amato says, shwa is the best in 6 continents
I have now officially visited 6 of 7 continents and have come to the conclusion that shwa is the best musical performer I have found on those I have visited. I have yet to check out antarctica, but i doubt any music of any consequence will be found there. Check this guy out, and give him the damn studio time, honestly! - matt , posted 11/22/04

Sleeper Band of 2004-2005
I first saw Shwa perform at a spot in London, and I then followed him back to New York and saw him at a kick-ass show at Piano's on the Lower East Side, and I've been living in The City ever since, waiting for his return. Shwa, NYC misses you. - Ravi , posted 11/21/04

I love Shwa!
I particularly like the guitarist (the tall one, not the short one). He looked a bit awkward on stage, but he really rocked when he had to!. I'll definitely go and see more of their shows and already have my CD I bought at GS. It's all I've been listening to for weeks! - Emma , posted 11/11/04

Rock On SHWA
They blew away all other bands at their cd release party at Grape Street Music in Manayunk on 10/26. The place was dead till they took the stage and then people started to crowd to see who was on the stage. Guys, really great show, keep doing your thing. - Rich , posted 10/29/04

Shwa really does rock
and their recent cd release party was a blast (last Tuesay 10/26 at Grape). Josh is such a rock star, he couldn't even get outta the place after their set. Women were flocking over to the merch table to meet the band and sing their praises. These kids are going places and it ain't going to be Chucky Cheese or Branson! - Marilyn , posted 10/29/04
