After a long 15-year hiatus, the Colorado-formed, LA-based Pop-Rock band Iglu & Hartly makes a triumphant return with their latest single ‘Swayze’. This synth-heavy group previously gained recognition throughout the mid-2000s, earning acclaim for their UK top 10 hit ‘In This City’. Now, they are back with a bang, ready to recapture their audience with their distinct style and magnetic presence.
Fronted by the talented Jarvis Anderson, ‘Swayze’ showcases the band at their best, paying homage to the 80’s legend Patrick Swayze.

It’s a pop-rock banger that effortlessly blends 80’s nostalgia with modern-day pop sensibilities. The familiar trademark vocal stylings, 80’s-inspired guitar lines, impactful synth, and powerful drum beats come together to create an irresistible musical experience.
Jarvis Anderson sheds light on the inspiration behind ‘Swayze,’ describing it as a tribute to a femme fatale whose wild spirit rivals that of one of Swayze’s iconic characters. The song’s emotional journey captures the essence of the band’s music and highlights their creative prowess.
