Biography

Swell are an American indie and lo-fi band formed in San Francisco, USA in 1989 by David Freel (guitar/vocals) and drummer Sean Kirkpatrick. Joined by bassist Monte Vallier and second guitarist John Dettman, the band issued their self-titled debut album (1990) and follow-up ‘Well…?’ (1991) on their own Psycho Specific imprint to positive reviews and college radio airplay.

Plaudits from musical luminaries such as British DJ John Peel followed, and in the tailwind of the grunge explosion Swell signed a record deal with Warner Brothers offshoot Def American. Their first major-label album ‘41’ (1994) was released to a warm critical reception, but problems with Def American’s finances led to Swell leaving the label with fourth album ‘Too Many Days Without Thinking’ already partly recorded.
