Tirelessly playing local shows in some of Edmonton's best live venues, they self-recorded and released two singles as well as shooting multiple music videos. Newspaper and radio interviews, radio play on local independent station CJSR, and regular rotation in some of the city's favourite bars and clubs all followed. Embracing changing attitudes about music and the climate of the record industry, Cygnets make their music free to all who want it. Having given away hundreds of their handmade EP and singles, they continue that trend with their new album, "Bleak Anthems", putting CDs into the hands of excited audiences at shows as well as making it available for free online. Ever the perfectionists, their danceable, captivating and evolving live shows have garnered much lauded opening slots for notable bands like You Say Party! and Apoptygma Berzerk.
