2010, They are from New Jersey. They are a trio (well, a quartet if you count parrot ´Shithead`). They were one of the lucky winners of 2008 issue of the international Nuclear Blast MySpace Band Contest and they will teach you how to thrash the right way! Swashbuckle are not the average pirate metal band as one might think when it comes to this term. Swashbuckle are just much more than that as they do have really strong feeling for what fits into the right place. Mixing punk influenced thrash with a hardcore edge and Caribbean/pirate themes makes Swashbuckle so special, so extraordinary!
