[2] Swing Kids released a self-titled 7-inch EP which features four original tracks as well as a harsh version of Joy Division’s "Warsaw".
[2] After a few short tours and a jaunt over to Europe, the band called it quits due to drummer Jose Palafox relocating to the Bay Area.
[citation needed] In 2011, Justin Pearson, Jose Palafox, Jimmy LaVelle and John Brady, accompanied by Nathan Joyner, briefly reunited under the name Blue Note, for a short tour of Europe.
[4] Swing Kids will reunite March 30, 2025 at The Casbah in San Diego, CA at day two of Grey, Dry and G’old - A Mini Transfronterizo Fest alongside Negative Blast, Agonista (John Brady’s current band), Prisoner, Fractal, Death Blows To Empire and Nanobel.
Swing Kids are also credited with the unintentional creation of the fad "Spock Rock" during the mid-1990s, largely due to many of their fans emulating Pearson's fashion sense and hair style, which itself was significantly influenced by Ian Svenonius and his band, the Nation of Ulysses.
Vocalist Justin Pearson went on to play in acts such as the Locust, Retox, All Leather, Some Girls, Holy Molar, Crimson Curse, Head Wound City, and Ground Unicorn Horn.
