Swell are the quintessential San Francisco band. They've been compared to other Bay Area pioneers like Pavement, American Music Club and Red House Painters. Swell appeared out of San Francisco in 1990 with a self-released eponymous LP on their 'Psycho-Specific' label. It was intended at the time as a one-off record for the band, who fully expected to be split up within months of its release. But something happened and 'Swell' received great plaudits, and won the group at least more than the handful of fans they maybe expected.

Get ready Swell fans. We have just finished compiling Bastards & Rarities, a collection of 10 rare tracks from the golden years of 1989-1994. Although a collection of songs recorded at different times, Bastards & Rarities has a remarkably cohesive feel and flow, almost as if they knew these songs would someday end up side by side. Beautifully packaged in a digipack and designed by drummer Sean Kirkpatrick.
Re-issues of Swell's "Swell" and "Well..." Both albums are remastered and repackaged with bonus material and alternate mixes from the original sessions.
