NAME:
Ryan Swanich

INFLUENCES:
Bon Scott…If you don’t know who that is, you’re probably on the wrong web page!
As a bassist, I’m influenced by anything that’s got a solid groove and that’s both rhythmically & melodically interesting.

A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF:
When I was a kid, my father wanted me to play an instrument, namely bass – as he too was a bassist. I wasn’t interested in music back then. Being young & strong – headed, if I were to learn a musical instrument, it would be on my own terms. To cut a long story short – I ended up learning how to play by ear, with every song being a new challenge. Now that I think of it, I actually stopped playing for about 2 years & after having picked up my bass again, I randomly met Damian (the drummer) on the train – call it fate I don’t know?

HOBBIES:
Whiskey & falling into drum kits head first. Haha…goodtimes!

GEAR:
4 string Ibanez SG Prestige Bass
Peavey TKO 15 bass amp
Sansamp Bass Driver

FINISHING NOTES:
It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock & roll – Bon Scott.
