we couldn't not make.

About The Project
One family project. Quiet collaboration.
SWSD is a family project. Shaun Williams writes the words, his cousin S.D. builds the sound — guitar, piano, bass, drums, synths. Richie Atkinson adds guitar, and the wider family adds the belief that keeps it moving.
Alternative rock · blues · ambient soundscapes · reflective storytelling.
Hoping to reach those who relate, who connect. If just one person feels less alone, then we've succeeded.
The SWSD World
Three doors into the same evening.
Two EPs and the pledge behind them — start anywhere.
Behind The Scenes
