<b>SWINDLE BIO [2003]</b>
Swindle was formed in 1994 by 4 friends who wanted to create loud fast music and start something new in an almost dormant hardcore punk scene in San Diego at that time. They became very popular on the brink of a nation wide punk explosion and capitalized at home and southern california. They play punk music, but have influences from all types of underground music. They have been described by critics as "a pissed off Fifteen..." and "Balls out, Reckless Abandon, punk...." Kid Dynamite was compared to Swindle in one of their early reviews, which has probably been the most accurate representation to what Swindle sounds like to date.
These guys have played with almost every big punk band from AFI to Youth Brigade. They have toured the entire U.S. twice as well as multple trips through out California in support of their 2 albums (Within these walls...1996 and Better off dead...1998) on grilled cheese\cargo records.
Lack of committment and conflicting schedules always hurt the band, until now. With the addition of 2 new recruits (keth divel(guitar) and Dave Rierson(bass)), the 2 ORIGINAL members (Nick Lennen(drums) and Mark Smith (vocals/guitar)) have the solid line up they need. The brand new album "This is Not a Test" (Slowgun Records) showcases a more talented and mature side of the band who have finally perfected their style. On the eve of this release, Swindle are ready to assault the world with their loud sounds and train wreck live show.

WE TALK MOVIES! 
A few friends who get together to discuss their passion for the cinema. Alcohol in the form of wine gets consumed, and some very inarticulate opinions get expressed. Enjoy listening to how eloquent the cast begins- to how slurred it concludes! With movie quote quizzes and shameless fictional business plugs.....These non-industry gents will leave you in stitches with their dry banter on movies, music, mayhem, madness, & more! A must listen for any car ride home.

Dimitri began djing parties and underground events in 1997, and throughout the years has shared the stage with acts such as Cypress Hill, Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, Black Eyed Peas, Slick Rick, Blackalicious, Egyptian Lover, El-P, Gaslamp Killer, Mobb Deep, Tone Loc, and Spank Rock, among others. 

    In 2002, Dimitri and  Rob Moran (bass guitarist of Unbroken, Some Girls, and Narrows) established Booty Bassment, which still runs every weekend in various cities including San Diego, San Francisco, and Portland, as well as one offs in Los Angeles, Seattle, Oakland, and Sydney, Australia.
