My name is Eric.
I made all this music for me, for my own pleasure, so that I may look back one day when I am 60 years or older and say, "Damn, I made all those songs by myself", and I couldn't care less if anyone else likes it. But hey, it's super cool if you do.

Swingy Beats formed in the North Toledo Ohio basement of drummer Jon Noonan, along with bassist Tommie Hutchinson in the winter of 2009. The band's earlier sound and material was more of a funk/hip-hop sound, made to match the likes of Primus, Digable Planets and James Brown. In 2012, Swingy Beats was joined by Joey Genovesi (from the band Constricted) on guitar, which brought forth an amazing new dynamic to the band, who now have been said to be compared to the likes of Mastodon, Pink Floyd, Buckethead, The Aristocrats, and Primus. Swingy Beats currently has one demo (released in 2012, recorded at HaasStyle Studios in Toledo, OH) called "An Hors D' Oeuvres" and is looking to a 2014 Full-length release.
