Artist History Formed in 1992 as a joke, three years later saw the release of what would come to be known as the first Wett Paynt album - a collection of instrumental pieces written in S3M format known as "Primer".Three more years would have to pass before Jake finally felt confident enough on guitar to sit down and work out a way to record some of the songs he had been writing over the years. A makeshift studio was built, and the "Second Coat" sessions established that this was no joke.Now back with a purpose (and a new computer), Wett Paynt prepares to release its most ambitious (and overdue) project to date - the third and definitive album: "Tertiary".

Group Members Jake Swantz - Lead and backing vocals, all instruments and computer programming.

Instruments Guitars, antiquated keyboards, minimal percussion and S3M programming

Albums Primer, Second Coat and the upcoming Tertiary

Location Duluth, MN - USA
