Swiz
SWIZ was a hardcore punk band from Washington, D.C., bred in the fertile underground before Fugazi and Nirvana rose to popularity. The band’s lineup featured vocalist Shawn Brown (formerly of Dag Nasty), bassist Nathan Larson, drummer Alex Daniels, guitarist Jason Farrell, and, in their early days, Ramsey Metalf (guitar). Their two albums were released by Amanda MacKaye’s Sammich Records—sister label to Dischord Records. Larson was replaced by bassist Dave Eight in 1989 as Swiz continued to make a name for themselves across the US over their three-year run (1987–1990). Their short, sharp, sonic blasts still resonate and continue to inspire musicians, artists, and fans alike.
