Swingset Showdown is a skilled group of musicians that use their talents to create exciting music that is full of humor. Everybody finds a different song to call their favorite. Swingset Showdown live shows are major spectacles that are an explosion of costumed antics, jokes, audience participation, drinking, dancing, colorful characters and over-the-top energy that is always way more entertainment than their ticket prices should allow. SImilarly, this debut album is a generous offering of their repertoire for the price. Here's what some other people have to say about Swingset Showdown: "Swingset Showdown puts on an out of control and energizing show that will keep you watching your calendar for their next show. Props, costumes, bombastic music, and a wild stage presence... they are exactly what a rock band is supposed to be." - Chris Prairie, of Seattle band The Hoot Hoots "...[T]hey find a way to indulge their sense of humor without forsaking the hooks in their songs....it reminds me of what The Ramones would sound like if they laughed at more fart jokes..." -Chris Burlingame, Another Rainy Saturday "They create incredibly infectious hooks that worm their way into your brain to the point that you find yourself singing "I drew a mustache on her face" despite the weird looks that follow. They add a dash of funny to their sound but it's never gimmicky - the boys have obvious technical talent that comes through in the complexity of their songs and the way they play live. Exciting, visual, invigorating, addictive, catchy beyond belief - all these qualities wrapped up in a papier mache Godzilla head make Swingset Showdown one of the best live bands in Seattle." - Chandra Farnsworth, of Seattle band The Fabulous Downey Brothers Bio- Founded by Eric and Isaac, the band was a duo for the first couple of years as a band. Eric plays piano and his sensibilities lean more towards top 40 pop-sensationalism, and Ben-folds songwriting style. Isaac is a counter-balance to this aesthetic with a strong leaning towards punk rock, technical drumming like Tera Melos, and obtuse humor like They Might Be Giants. Jason came on about a year before this album with a mathy and melodic style inspired by the surreal and upbeat styling of Deerhoof and The Shins. One time Isaac saw Incubus play live, because a girl wanted him to. One time Eric almost saw Incubus, but didn't. One time Jason revealed to a friend that he owned all of Incubus's albums. They have all been kicking themselves for their respective missteps.
