From Dischord....

This 3xLP box collects the complete discography of Washington, D.C.'s Swiz. The limited edition set is a joint effort between Dischord and the band's original labels, Sammich and Hellfire Records. It features the quartet's two full-lengths (S/T and Hell Yes I Cheated) plus a compilation of three 7" singles (Rejects, Down, With Dave) all remastered from the original analog tapes, plus a 34-page 12x12 photo book with rare and unseen images.

This collection will be a one-time pressing manufactured to order and will be available via pre-order only. Pre-orders begin today with the window closing on May 30th. Delivery is expected late this summer. The music will be available for streaming on all platforms around the physical ship date.
Pre-order the box now via Bandcamp or our site.

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 punk broke into the mainstream during the early '90s.

In the thirty-five years since the group's demise, Swiz’s popularity and infamy have only grown. Their short, sharp, sonic blasts still resonate and continue to inspire musicians, artists, and fans alike.

Swiz was Shawn Brown (vocals), Jason Farrell (guitar), Nathan Larson (bass 1987-1989), Alex Daniels (drums), and Dave Stern (bass 1989-1990).

From Akashic Books...

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, Fugazi, Ian MacKaye, Dave Grohl, and Henry Rollins. 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 the thirty-five years since their demise, Swiz’s popularity and infamy have only grown. This first in-depth look into the band is timed perfectly to coincide with the 2025 release of their remastered musical catalog by Dischord Records, now available for preorder.

The volume is penned by all of the band members, combining historical interviews and personal journals, with present-day conversations, anecdotes, recollections, and reflections yielding new poetry and prose. The writing is complemented by over one hundred unpublished images. This mix of styles touches on band facts and timelines while also spotlighting the negative space around the band: personal and interpersonal moments of its members and the broader community and culture in which they were immersed. Swiz is a deep dive into the band and its members, a celebration of warped memory, and a unique snapshot of a time and scene that continues to inspire musicians, artists, and fans alike.
