Artist History SWEEP were formed in 1996. One year later, they released their "Sweepeepee" EP, a very promising debut which recieved a lot of good reviews from the musical press. Right after the release, SWEEP were featured on the Sauna CD#001 with their most popular song from the EP, "Tonight". And in 1998, they were voted by the readers of Release Magazine to be one of the best newcomers in this genre. At the same time, SWEEP did a great remix of Apoptygma Berzerk's "Untitled Too", featured on their Mourn EP. This brought more attention from abroad to SWEEP's quality work, and later on, they participated on Ausfahrt's Electrocity Vol.11 compilation album. Since the start of the band three years ago, SWEEP have earned a reputation for their strong live performance. Their first tour are planned to follow the release of the forthcoming longplayer.
