Bio
American Swindle is a three-piece rock band from Houston, TX, renowned for their explosive live shows. In the studio, they strive to capture that elusive "lightning in a bottle" energy that connects them with their audience. This dynamic trio consistently pushes creative boundaries, releasing a new single every few months to keep their fans engaged and hungry for more.
After a brief hiatus, American Swindle is back and stronger than ever, revitalized and more driven than ever before. Known for their high-energy performances and captivating stage presence, their musical influences span a wide spectrum, from the blues and the rock of the 80s and 90s to metal, alternative rock, and grunge. Some of their favorite artists include AC/DC, Guns N' Roses, Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Aerosmith, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Pink Floyd, Airbourne and Jack White to name a few.
American Swindle maintains complete creative control, writing, producing, and recording all their music independently. Over the years, they have honed their songwriting and refined their signature sound. American Swindle aims to connect with fans old and new for years to come by consistently releasing new music and growing their fanbase.
Joey Kilcommins, a guitar virtuoso with a voice that can melt faces, leads the charge alongside Mike Guidry's thunderous bass lines and Don Rosecrans' driving percussion.
The band's journey began when Joey and Mike began collaborating on Joey's song ideas. These initial jams quickly evolved into full-blown songs, and the undeniable need to share them live became clear. After a brief search for a drummer, Don joined the fold, and after a few electrifying rehearsals, American Swindle was born.
