I was amazed by a lot of CDs I bought on Ebay because of a few bands I knew. I was just taken aback by the stuff I got. I bid because of a few titles I didn't own yet that I knew the bands from (yes I own an odd high number of CDs that I will keep, almost 2700 in alphabetical order ) and many that I didn't know of (I thought I knew ska pretty well) one of them was a band called Swift Kixx, who through many searches on line I found out that they only sold this discs at shows which they only played locally. They had played with MU330 and others from St. Louis. It is really good, they are as good as MU330 (and I love MU330 I think Dan Potthast is one of the best song writers ever). I just don't know what to do with almost 30 copies of the album now I have listed it on Ebay but no bids (I have it listed a second time now). I figure it must be pretty rare if I could only find mention of it on an unused Myspace page (where I got the album cover pic from). but it is such good Punk/Ska (I should know I was a founding member of the Suicide Machines). I just don't want to say it is so good I just want the review to be factual not my opinion. How can I sell these?

I currently play bass in a band with the former main writer of Swift Kixx. This is his next project. We have been collaborating on new material for the last year, and are about two months away from hitting the scene. Our material is a unique progression of punk/ska with some crossover into other genres. We only have a couple of copies of that original Swift Kixx CD floating around. I would be interested in purchasing 10 of those CD's from you.

I should mention that we always quote the Suicide Machines as an influence. I love the Suicide Machines!
