About Swim

This was my first real record. Brain child of me & Bo Shupin, my long lost friend, bad influence, guitarist & soul mate. These songs were a collaboration of our ideas in the late 90's and were founded on a great desire to be one of the epic rock & roll giants the likes of Led Zepplin, the Beattles, U2 or the Doors. We were on fire with life and an ambition to graduate from kids in the garage to a real band.

As we launched this journey and spent many many late nights writing and crafting these songs, we actually found an investor that gave us $12K to record the project. We were quickly taken advantage of by a sheister producer who dragged us down to some expensive studio in Knoxville. He had a horrible ear, big eighties hair and no conscience. When we returned we had a couple grand left and we determined to redo the album with a more local but passionate producer. We found Vic Pepe by some miracle and he triaged the base recordings and got us the product posted here today. Kevin Barry played drums and started to believe our hype. When we released the album we got great reactions and started gigging in NJ & NYC until one day Bo disappeared and left us there to move on. It's a shame. I think we were on to something. Hence goes the real rock -n roll story. The Crash & Burn. But the music still lives...if/when it hits your ears. Otherwise it is just 1s & 0s...
