- About me:
- .. Knoxville, TN's SWINGSHOT formed in August of 2005.
Often called 'Percussive Metal' or 'Swing-Metal' by their fans, SWINGSHOT has perfected a heavy metal style that incorporates both melody and aggression, combining influences from the genres of hardcore, metal, and rock, they often dare to tread ground most metal bands fear, exploring the roots of influence even in pop, rap, blues and swing.
After previous years of playing music together, the members of SWINGSHOT decided it was time to take their love for music to the next level, it was time to make their dreams reality. Adhering to a strict practice regimen and focusing on professionalism on and off stage, their mission was clear. Coming out swinging, playing every rock club, national guard armory, dive bar, skating rink, performance hall, battle-of-the-bands, and high school gymnasium in the South-East area they could find.
Utilizing 4 out of 5 members on vocal duties, along with blood-curdling guitar riffage (Mike Collins), a variety of slap-bass techniques (Loren Queener), additional custom percussion (Shane Reed), super-tight and hard core rock drumbeats (Matthew Bradley), and intensely emotional and philosophical lyrical content (BJ Griffith), SWINGSHOT released their full length debut cd "There's Nothing Like A Beating" (July 2007), and continue to draw a fan base as diverse as the members themselves.
In summer of 2009 SWINGSHOT gained a major sponsorship with Jagermeister and were given the opportunity to play to a crowd of 11,000+ on the Jagermeister Mobile Stage at The Rockstar Energy Drink MAYHEM FESTIVAL in Atlanta Georgia, performing alongside National and International bands including Slayer, Marilyn Manson, Killswitch Engage, Bullet For My Valentine, Cannibal Corpse, Job For A Cowboy, The Black Dahlia Murder, Behemoth, Trivium, God Forbid, All That Remains, and Whitechapel.
In mid-2009, SWINGSHOT was included on the 2009 J&T's Metal Mayhem Tour, hitting the road with regional acts including Circles In Autumn, A Road Eternal, and Every Man's Enemy.
SWINGSHOT has also performed on independent dates with other National bands including Silent Civilian, Straight Line Stitch, Dead Gospel, and 10 Years.
- My definition of "Freedom" is:
- We believe in the right to have freedom in your home, the right to defend yourself and home, and the right to do what makes you happy, as long as you are not harming anyone else. And we support the troops that help us keep those freedoms.
