Artist History Most of the band met at Pope John XXIII High school in Sparta, NJ when they attended but the trumpet section (Lott and Bolan) joined the band when guitarist Brian Winkleman went over to local rival high school Lenape Valley and met up with ska band "Six Fifty Per Shoe" who recently broke up. Sideswiped has now been together for approx. 4 years now and has been tearing up the local scene as of late, including a memorable performance at Skate and Surf Fest in southern NJ last year.
