MP3: Swiz
I was just about to hit the publish button on the Diplo post when I clicked on over to New(ish) and realized I was beaten to the draw. So in a complete 180-degree about face, I will go backwards throught the archives and post some tracks from Swiz, the original source from which DC bands as disparate as Shudder to Think, Severin, Blue Tip and Sweetbelly Freakdown can claim former members. Swiz formed after singer Shawn Brown was booted out of Dag Nasty, uniting with guitarist Jason Farrell, bassist Nathan Larson and drummer Alex Daniels to form a bulldog front that would shun the trend toward emocore and take hold of their recidivist tendencies and pound audiences with solid old school hardcore energy. You can get just about every Swiz track on their 1992 Jade Tree release No Punched Pulled. If you are a fan of the old DC tradition and aren't familiar with Swiz, grab the tracks below and pick up this record.
