Swing Kids were a seminal hardcore punk band during the 1990s. Justin Pearson, who we’ve interviewed previously on the BYL, and who’s now the bassist in The Locust, Head Wound City, etc., was the band’s lead singer. I was excited to come across a live set of theirs online. I especially appreciated the opening monologue from drummer Jose Palafox. “The opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s apathy…”
Democracy is a form of government that substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few. - George Bernard Shaw
Wow…. these guys suck really bad… the “music” that they play is a disgrace. How dare they call themselves Swing Kids. They are Truly terrible, any 5 year old with a drum set/guitar/mic could make music twice this good.
