SWIZ was a Washington, D.C-based hardcore punk band that existed from April of 1987 through August of 1990, cutting their teeth and carving their place in the scene that birthed trailblazers and contemporaries like Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Dag Nasty, and Fugazi.
Featuring original Dag Nasty singer Shawn Brown, Swiz’s faster, darker, and more aggressive take on the D.C. sound ran counter to the melodic, experimental, and poppy direction the scene had been leaning toward in the years before Nirvana broke the underground.
In their thirty-five years on hiatus, Swiz’s popularity and infamy only grew. Their short, sharp, sonic blasts still resonate and continue to inspire musicians, artists, and fans alike.
