Swirl 360 is an alternative pop band founded by twins Denny and Kenny Scott. Biography In 1996, twin brothers Denny and Kenny Scott, formerly called Fools of Faith and before that Dream in Color, recorded a set of demos in Jacksonville Beach, Fla. The Scott Brothers brought these recordings to Austin's SXSW (South by Southwest) music conference, where they met Los Angeles-based music attorney Christopher Sabec, who at that time managed Hanson and Dave Matthews. Sabec signed the duo, re-christened Swirl 360, to Mercury. The resulting debut, Ask Anybody, was released in mid-1998, and the track "Hey, Now Now," co-written with John Shanks, became a top 5 hit on radio airwaves worldwide. Rolling Stone gave the album 3.5 stars and other entertainment magazines reviewed the band's efforts favorably. The band's second single "Candy In The Sun" released in 1999, was a summer chart topper as well. "Candy In The Sun" was also featured on the soundtrack to the film Never Been Kissed.

The Scott brothers continued developing material in the hope of securing another contract. Two songs, "Okay" and "Radio Song," are featured in the movie National Lampoon's Van Wilder but still the act failed to break through. Discouraged, the brothers found themselves on the verge of quitting the music business altogether, and the subsequent tension led to a brief estrangement. Atenzia Records unexpectedly approached the duo with offers in early 2003; the first album under the contract was recorded over a two-month period at record producer Evan Frankfort's Lake Arrowhead studio. Here the band was rounded out by Chad Salls (former bassist for Color) and Luke Adams (touring drummer for Pete Yorn); notable guest musicians contributed to the album, including Roger Joseph Manning, Jr. (Jellyfish, Beck). Revitalized by the promising turn of events, the Scott brothers' positive outlook influenced the style and sound of the resulting material; despite this, and despite a number of reports that appeared
