POP LIFE EP. 57: WHAT THE HELL IS ART CORE? ft. SWING KIDS

San Diego, like its northern cousin Seattle, has always existed on the periphery of mainstream cultural circuits—too geographically isolated for major label attention, yet fertile ground for subcultural innovation. Its position at the edge of the U.S.–Mexico border makes it a fascinating site for hybrid forms, a crossroads of tension, migration, and creativity.
In the early 1990s, out of that liminal zone, emerged Swing Kids—a band that fused the rhythmic sensibility of swing jazz with the sonic dissonance of hardcore punk. Their 1994 self-titled EP was less a collection of songs than an act of sonic revolt—a controlled detonation that anticipated what would later be called “screamo.”
While their time together was brief, Swing Kids’ influence continues to reverberate, embodying the ethos of art as confrontation—a refusal to conform to genre, commerce, or calm.
I’m honored to welcome them today to talk about the aesthetics of chaos, the politics of sound, and what it means to create something truly disruptive in a culture that increasingly rewards conformity.
Jason sits down with the members of Swing Kids to discuss their legacy of boundary breaking hardcore in the mid 90s to now.
