The Swarm "Old Blue Eyes is Dead" ep

Sinatra had just died. The Swarm did a song for him in a power violence tradition called 5-15-98. Chris started the Swarm after Left for Dead broke up and the band had basically the core of what would become the Cursed. So Chris was the singer, Christian and Adam played guitar, lou played bass and Mike played drums. The cover of this ep was pretty amazing with a little peek-a-boo window on the back cover and a Sinatra silhouette fold on the front. It was a great release and No Idea put it out. The songs on here are:

1. Bleeding to Death

2. November First

3. Fuse

4. 5.15.98

5. Absent from the Morning Headcount

6. Just Say "Go!"

The Swarm / Morser split ep

The Swarm were a band that was started up with Kyle and matt from Grade who recruited Chris Colohon as the singer just after Left for Dead broke up. Kyle had found some young kids to play in the band one of them being Mike who would go on to drum with Chris in the Cursed. In fact some bands look at the Swarm as a precurser band that would become the Cursed. The idea behind the band was to do something similar to the German crossover scene in bands like Acme and Morser. So this split with Morser was a big deal. The record was released by Per Koro in Germany and Spiritfall in the States. The songs on here are:

1. Last Rites

2. Familiarity Breeds Contempt

3. Smooth Running Order

The Swarm "Parasitic Skies" 10"

This was the early inception of the Swarm. Kyle Bishop played guitar with Adam Bratt and Matt Jones was on bass. Mike always played drums and Chris always sang. This was recorded at Signal to Noise and was put out by No Idea. The songs on here are:

1. Fucking Invincible
2. Blink
3. First Saved Message
4. Plague
5. God's Little Acre
6. On Our Knees
7. Upside Your Head
8. Willing Victim
9. Monopolized Reality for the Maintenance of Order
