Wick Records is pleased to present the debut 2-sider from Brooklyn-born, Detroit-based artist, William Schalda Jr. aka Billy Swivs!

After helping lay the groundwork for what would become The Budos Band, Billy formed thehighly influential yet oft-overlooked power pop group The Realistics, who alongside comrades The Mooney Suzuki, helped create the early-00s NYC scene and sound that would become best known for third-wave acts like The Strokes. Following a short stint playing keys with Brendan Benson of The Raconteurs, and a few tours with his brotherʼs band Paul and the Tall Trees, Swivs landed a gig playing Hammond organ with Charles Bradley's Extraordinaires; which led to recording a game-changing LP with his psychedelic doo-wop, family affair The Sha La Das.

Five self-released, lo-fi albums later, Swivs decided it was time to get back in a studio with his longtime friends / collaborators Tommy ʻTNTʼ Brenneck and The Budos Band to hammer out these two bonafide gems! With the swing of early punk and a dash of panache, Time is Not on My Side is an autobiographical rally cry with a hook that grabs you by the lapels and doesnʼt let go! The flip Baby I'm Not Your Clown ratchets up the mod-prowess to deliver a hook-laden masterpiece a la The Small Faces and the like. But donʼt get yer ascots in a bunch–Billy Swivs ainʼt no revival act ... Heʼs the real deal with the now sounds. Dig It!
