The Latest from SWAT
1/16/2000
Ahoy-hoy friends. Happy New Year from the boys.
SWAT has just returned from the studio once again, laying down the three tracks as promised, and adding a fourth as a nice suprise. This is THE BEST sounding recording, songs, everything that SWAT has put out. We still aren't sure what it will be pressed in so drop us a line, and let us know what you want.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO DOUG FROM ASSHOLE STUDIOS. YOUR PATIENCE AND GENEROSITY WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN.
The Boys,
~SWAT
11/99 Thanksgiving...SWAT will be laying down 3 new tracks in January for a new E.P. "423", "Down", and "It Changes Nothing". What formats it will be available on is still a mystery. Cassetes are definate, a 7" is a possibilty. When we know, you'll know. ~See ya at the next show.
11/99 Okay so here's what's going on with the boys.... Jared is already up in Boston attending Berklee School of Music, Dave, and Craig went up there over Halloween weekend to check out the scene, and visit. It was a blast! Boston is a great town, We practiced and some people even showed up to see us play, we bummed around, and generally just absorbed the atmosphere. While there Craig took the oppertunity to visit a local art school there which he will be attending in the fall. Even though we're not together we've all been colaberating on new designs for some new merchandise, and not only will we be playing as many shows as we can while we're all together back in this area, but we're also going back into the studio to lay down some new tracks, and one or two old favorites for promo to labels, radio shows, and where ever else we can send them. We're not sure yet if we're making this available at shows, but we might. With still 1,000,000 questions infront of us about the move we're going to do as much as we can as we try to figure everything out, so keep checking back or you can email us at the previously listed addys. Thanks, ~SWAT
Added 7/2:Hey, SWAT has again returned to its original line-up for
now.
We're once again without a bass player (hopefully temporary). The
position is
open to anyone willing to play who has their own equipment and wants to
play.
Your heart has to be in the music. That's what counts. Until then, we
will
continue playing shows and recording, we did it before we'll do it
again...Nothing is changing. We'll still play anywhere, and play just
as hard
if not harder.
SEE YA AT THE NEXT SHOW,
~SWAT Lancaster punkcore
Added 6/30: Hey there kids. Not much has been happening on the home front. You can
now
pick up SWAT shit at ANGRY, YOUNG, And POOR (Prince St. Lancaster) and
C.I.
Records (Manor St. Lancaster). Thanks to those guys helping us. And as
the
world turns and more shows are being booked, our musical foundation is
being
strengthed as well as our ability to write songs together. There is a
slew of
new ones in the making. So keep your ears open. More pics will be up
soon, as
well as some lyrics to the new songs. SEE YA AT THE NEXT SHOW,

Old News: SWAT is currently seeking any and all shows, with the release of the
CD
they are accepting pretty much to play anywhere (clubs, halls, parties)
for
gas money maybe less depending on where you are.
SWAT is also looking for more bands to play with, trade shows and get
tight with. Eventually a list of links will be posted on this page of
all the
bands SWAT has contact with. Its about unity, friends and fun. The
scene
won't progress without each other.
SWAT is welcoming reviews of shows and the CD in our guestbook. So
please sign and let us know what you think.
All of SWAT's old show dates have been lost to the computer monsters
if you have flyers from any of these shows please get in touch with
Craig,
David, or the webmaster. The CD is finally here..."These Days..." was be offically released on
May
15th at The Skatepark Benefit @ Reflections, Bloomsburg,PA. (This was a
tape
version because the print shop still has the sleeve). From then on out
it
is available for $6 (plus shipping if by mail) at shows, and
through
orders. A private release party for all the people that helped us and
have
been cool to us will be held the at SWAT
headquarters on June 5. May 15 was also our first show with Matt our new
bassist. For those of you who have
seen us
live and signed our mailing list keep your eyes on your mail boxes
we're
gonna try to get some special stuff out to ya. Early Summer...We've
been
asked back to the studio again to possibly do two new tracks (DOWN/IT
CHANGES
NOTHING) for a possible split 7". About the last weeks of May "These
Days..."
will be hitting the desks of some labels. Keep an eye out for any news
on
that epic search. Also we'll be hitting the road this summer with our
pals
SKANK WILLIAMS for a short tour south, so come out and see us.
GRACELAND HERE

Recent... The 15th was a smash. We love everyone that turns out in
Bloomsburg. (Thanx for showin us a good time.) The show wasnt the only
great
thing that day, some people were very supportive and are going to meet

us a little later to discuss another tour (we'll be hittin NYC) after
the
August one. Things seem to finally be slipping into place for us.
