Known for their string of superb singles, albums and EPs as well as their incredible live shows, the band have done official remixes for platinum selling artists like Caro Emerald (Grandmono) or Millie Smalls (Island Records) and tours with bands like Caravan Palace or Parov Stelar. They’ve also toured North America, Europe, Japan and India in their own right and have performed at literally hundreds of festivals around the world including the main stage of the Blue Note Festival in Japan.
Their sound is a mix of styles from jazz to hip-hop, electronica to gypsy swing but has been steadily evolving since their debut into a unique vintage-inspired pop.
The first album, PRONOUNCED SWING’GROWERS (2012), was largely a sample-based affair very much part of the emerging electro-swing genre and featuring the two founding members Loredana Grimaudo on vocals and Roberto Costa (A.K.A. PiSk) on production duties.
This was followed with the addition of jazz guitarist Alessio Costagliola for the single QUEEN OF SWING (2013) with guests London-based brass section and producers Gypsy Hill. 2013 also saw the start of the series of cover versions that became the DO NOT COVER EP (2014) featuring guests The Lost Fingers on PUMP UP THE JAM and the bands version of Paulo Conte’s Italian classic VIA CON ME .
Follow-up album REMOTE (2014), saw the band expand to a five-piece with the addition of Davide Rizzuto on Violin and Ciro Pusateri on Alto Saxophone and singles THAT’S RIGHT! and MIDNIGHT.
With multi-million views on YouTube and a hectic touring schedule, the band have settled into their current incarnation of sax, guitar, vocals and beats and following the success of the single BUTTERFLY (2017) released their 3rd full length album OUTSIDEIN in 2018 and are currently touring across Europe.

Swingrowers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Should take the star stairways
I believe I'll be whatever you need
Beyond your wildest dream
We can lean on no one, it's not such fun
But if you trust me you'll live like magic
Doors will open for us
If we make it through the night
Babe I want you by my side
Let's take back all we were denied
My oh my! You can't begin to understand
What to expect in my dreamland
For the last time look at your past
cnd say
Goodbye - bye - bye - bye - bye - bye - bye - bye - bye
cmore mio we need to pack up and go
Before the sun goes down
Legal outlaws don't need to hurt anyone
The best is yet to come!
Run on and on and on until it's done!
cnd if you trust me you'll live like magic
The worst is over for us
Come with me
If we make it through the night
Babe I want you by my side
Let's take back all we were denied
My oh my! You can't begin to understand
What to expect in my dreamland
For the last time look at your past
cnd say
Goodbye - bye - bye - bye - bye - bye - bye - bye - bye
Let's say goodbye - bye - bye - bye
(Bye - bye - bye - bye)

By the way, we'll try to go up again -
Despite previous failures, we will make another attempt to achieve our goals
Should take the star stairways
We should take the unconventional path to success
I believe I'll be whatever you need
I am willing to adapt and fulfill your desires
Beyond your wildest dream
I will exceed your highest expectations
We can lean on no one, it's not such fun
Relying on others is not enjoyable or reliable
But if you trust me you'll live like magic
If you have faith in me, extraordinary and enchanting experiences await
Doors will open for us
Opportunities will present themselves to us
Come with me
Join me in this adventure
If we make it through the night
If we successfully overcome the challenges we face
Babe I want you by my side
I desire your presence and support
Let's take back all we were denied
Together, let's reclaim what was unjustly taken from us
My oh my! You can't begin to understand
You have no idea of the wonders and surprises that await you
What to expect in my dreamland
The experiences and possibilities in my imagined world
For the last time look at your past
Take one final glimpse at your history
And say Goodbye - bye - bye - bye - bye - bye - bye - bye - bye
Bid farewell to what no longer serves you
C'mon mio we need to pack up and go
Let's hurry and gather our things
Before the sun goes down
Before the day ends and opportunities fade
Legal outlaws don't need to hurt anyone
We don't have to harm anyone to rebel against societal norms
The best is yet to come!
We have yet to experience the most wonderful things
Run on and on and on until it's done!
Keep going persistently until the task is completed
And if you trust me you'll live like magic
If you have faith in me, a life filled with enchantment awaits
The worst is over for us
We have conquered the most challenging times
Let's say goodbye - bye - bye - bye
Let's bid farewell to the past
(Bye - bye - bye - bye)
(Farewell)

Super cool music, this is bound to be a real, authentic electro-swing classic, so ear-friendly, inviting to dance, and in the Roaring Twenties mood. Congrats guys, good music is at home with you. Big ups to Swingrowers, cos Italians do it better. 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹😘😘😘
Lilith Smith
Argua Lyndon. The only thing Italian are very good at is building road and building potting pond of cheese to anything taste good And boiling Macaroni is not a cousin .

Nice to see a new generation discovering this music (which is more 1950's jump 'n' jive than Roaring 20's.)
