A message from Swashbuckle:

 AHOY MATEYS! Forged upon the seven seas, we Swashbuckle hath come to take the metal community by storm. We've faced rumrunners of the Northern Caribbean to bring you the most brutal in YAR face metal upon the Spanish Main. If ye be double crossin' us, we'll make ye walk the plank ye scurvy dogs! Yarrr! Swab the poop deck, and set sail for the Pirate Metal experience of your lifetime ye hornswogglers! Cheers!

There be many horrors of the high seas, but none so wretched as Swashbuckle. Their tale begins early in the year 2005. Legend has it that Commodore RedRum met Admiral Nobeard in the all-you-can-eat shrimp buffet line at Red Lobster. Realizing their mutual love for pillaging, plundering, and thrash metal, they set sail, and began work on a four-song excursion produced in their very own scurvy sea studio. Thus, Swashbuckle was born.

Upon completion of the demo, they set forth to assemble a crew of sea dogs even more vile than themselves. Timber-n-Twine wielding Rowin’ Joe Po was rescued from the gallows pole, where he was being tried for savage acts of piracy so evil that they cannot be mentioned here.

Skins-n-sticks brandishing Captain Crashride was found drunk and marooned on the godforsaken Isle of Kayk, where natives forced him to brand his flesh with heathen words... and mud flap-girls. Their fearless crew now complete, Swashbuckle was ready to navigate the treacherous waters of the open seas.

Arising out of the depths of Davey-Jones’ locker, Swashbuckle set the local music scene ablaze with blistering speed and malicious mosh capabilities. November 2005 saw the release of a more musically developed and increasingly complex offer by Swashbuckle - the Yo Ho Demo. Recorded at Riverside Recording in Titusville NJ, the Yo Ho Demo marked a new stage of development for the pirate foursome.

After extensive plundering and pilfering of the New Jersey/New York/Pennsylvania area, the band of black-hearted pirates focused on crafting a full-length metal masterpiece of unparalleled nautical proportion.

In 2006, Swashbuckle released their debut album, "Crewed By The Damned," well-received by fans & critics alike. CMJ New Music Report called "Crewed" a 'splash n' thrash attack of surprisingly well-executed metal'. Swashbuckle embarked on their first US tour in August 2007, culminating in a support slot for legendary metal acts Heaven & Hell, Alice Cooper, & Shadows Fall at Loco Fest 2007.
