This is a very rough draft of what I intended to completely write about the band.

Their influence and importance is indeed huge in the American 90's punk rock subculture and I simply need to gather more facts.

With that said, I will post more general information on the influence and importance of Swing Kids very shortly.

On a side-note, I wrote this article because there were several articles on Wikipedia linking to Swing Kids which were incorrectly linked to the nazi-era Germany movement. This could be confusing and was what inspired me to write this to begin with. Thanks for your patience and understanding. Curtyv 02:35, 18 April 2006 (UTC)Reply


OK, have updated the page with some changes on the Swing Kids and their influence on the underground punk scene in the mid to late 90's and today. This draft is still pretty rough but I believe it explains their importance and justifies why the article should not be deleted. Curtyv 02:35, 18 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

POV edit

This page seems kind of biased. swings kids didn't seem to have a large following like most other hardore /punk bands in san diego during the '90s(as opposed to unbroken, amenity, house of suffering, sub society, boilermaker, forced down, antioch arrow, heroin, etc...)In fact, i would consider the mentioned as true pioneers of the San Diego punk/hardcore scene. Those bands had a true impact on the San Diego Scene. Swing Kids just seemed like another run of the mill, cookie cutter screamo band. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.220.90.100 (talk) 08:12, 5 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Merge suggestion edit

I think this page could be merged with Justin Pearson. Wikipedia pages generally have greater prominence when they have some claim to comprehensiveness or scope. Aryder779 (talk) 15:32, 27 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
