Exhibit Description

SWIZ WAS A WASHINGTON, D.C.– BASED hardcore punk band that existed from April of 1987 through August of 1990, cutting their teeth and carving their place in the scene that birthed trailblazers and contemporaries like Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Dag Nasty, Fugazi. Featuring original Dag Nasty singer Shawn Brown, Swiz’s faster, darker, and more aggressive take on the D.C. sound ran counter to the melodic, experimental, and poppy direction the scene had been leaning toward in the years before Nirvana broke the underground.

In the thirty-five years since their demise, Swiz’s popularity and infamy have only grown. This first in-depth look into the band was timed perfectly to coincide with the 2025 release of their remastered musical catalog by Dischord Records.
