Swiz - "Down" 7"
Between the birth of my beautiful daughter and school, there is precious little time for mp3 blogging of late.
This is the first 7" of the great D.C.-area group Swiz. I saw them multiple times in Albany and Connecticut in the late 80s, including on the awesome "SwASide" tour with Soulside and New Jersey greats American Standard (upcoming post -- American Standard's first LP, stay tuned). Trivia: vocalist Shawn Brown was Dag Nasty's first singer (Aug 1985 - Feb 1986) before quitting to form Swiz. He later sang for a number of other bands, most recently in Jesuseater.

this is a great 7in" i got this a long time ago in DC its on clear blue and think my copy use to have a mini comic great band though!
Hey dude-- thanks for posting this -- I still have my copy of this 7'. Grew up in DC and saw Swiz many times.. Sunstroke still fuckin' rocks.
I read somewhere Sean was fired from Dag Nasty because he wasn't melodic enough. I found that weird since he sounds nearly identical to 'Can I Say' Dave Smalley in the early Dag Nasty youtube clips I've seen.
Swiz are a great band!
think that 7" is available on the 'no punches pulled" CD complilation
