Swiz "Swiz" - Book

In the late 1980s, Swiz cut their teeth and carved their place in the scene that birthed trailblazers and contemporaries like Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Dag Nasty, and Fugazi. Penned by all of the band members, this volume combines historical interviews and personal journals with present-day conversations, anecdotes, recollections, and reflections yielding new poetry and prose. Complemented by over 100 previously unpublished images, "Swiz" is a deep dive into the band and its members, a celebration of warped memory, and a unique snapshot of a time and scene that continue to inspire musicians, artists, and fans alike.

5.5" x 8.25", softcover, 256 pages.
