   About The Swigs
"Which is [Al] Perry's favorite Arizona band? He mentions the Swigs, a band he saw at the Red Room two nights prior.
"That's what I like about rock music; it's noisy and it's interesting and it rocks." -- Al Perry interviewed in the Arizona Daily Star, September 3rd, 2009.

The Swigs purvey an visionary, energetic buzz fusion of rock 'n roll, "ambient, psychedelic, drifting and strange", "oozing cool in a way that's hard to put your finger on" (Subcity Radio, Glasgow, UK). Showcasing the song-writing, fearless performance, and guitar artistry of founder, Kevin Henderson, the brilliant quicksilver bass attack of Eric Snyder, and the powerhouse drum chops of Blaine Rybke, the Swigs deliver an aural/visual hit/shot/blast to an increasing fan base around the world.

"Whether playing acoustic or electric, Henderson proves his mettle, producing a fevered sound that at times recalls the folk, pop, country, blues, prog rock and jazz of musical progenitors Jeff Beck, Sandy Bull, Steve Howe, Bill Nelson and Leo Kottke, among others." -- Gene Armstrong, Tucson Weekly, 12/27/2007


The Swigs began their current journey in 2006, and began writing/assembling the material that made up the early setlists. Mark Witt joined in 2007, and helped forge the foundation and lent his magic to the early gigs. Later, Eric Snyder, bassist for Bloodspasm, and tank commander/master drummer Blaine Rybke, made the perfect alchemy, live and in the studio, to carry heavy music into unknown territory. We are currently playing the biggest and best gigs we've ever played, flying high with our audiences. The "Let it Come Down" album, the Swigs' first, is due in November.

The live shows should be seen and heard. Here are a few: .. .. ..
