Artist History After over ten years recording and touring with METAL BLADE recording artists the JUNK MONKEYS, David Bierman and Glynn Scanlan combine talents and debut their brand of alternative/punk/pop music. SWiG is full of DETROIT energy, big guitars, tons of hooks, and for now, no slow songs. Among others, these guy's have toured with the Goo Goo Dolls, and played with Tool, Hootie and The Blowfish (you gotta love anyone named Hootie), The Dead Boys, Bash 'N Pop and all sorts of other rock & roll dogs. It's been five years since these cat's made a record together. If it took them this long, you know it's got to be good.The 11-song collection titled "FURIA" will have limited independent release, and for all of you cybermonkeys, the CD will be available for purchase via the internet at www.bamboomgfx.com/swig along with a "HERE COMES THE WIND DOWN" CD single, that includes two previously unreleased tracks. You can order cd's by credit card, check, or money order.
