Swinger Eight is a three piece psychedelic, experimental rock band from Brooklyn New York. Each original member of the group is a native New Yorker. S8 consists of Chris Miskiewicz on guitar and lead vocals, Christopher Medrano on bass and lead vocals, and Ozzie Martinez on drums. S8 began during a series of 4-track recordings between college friends, Chris Miskiewicz and Christopher Medrano in the winter of 2001, and then jelled into the band after a chance meeting with Ozzie. S8 has self released three albums so far, "The Swinger Eight EP" (2002) from which the track "On and On" appeared in the 2003 Sundance Award Winning Film "What Alice Found" and "A Division" (2003) which is a 15 song acoustic record inspired by the band's original basement recordings, featuring several other guest artists. S8 has released "2:22 AM" (Nov 2007) They are currently seeking a label. Several of the tracks on myspace are taken from this album. S8 is going into the studio to record another EP with a tentative Fall (2008) release.
