Origins and Sound

The band was born out of the historic Denver open jam scene and the music program at CU Denver. Sqwerv is praised for balancing highly structured, meaningful songwriting with extended, adventurous improvisation. Their catalog ranges from short, two-minute psych-pop songs to sprawling 12-minute progressive epics inspired by Homer’s Odyssey.
