Finally Swims deliver a self titled some slightly widdly gear that sounds like its played by someone with seven fingers on each hand. It has a prog thing going on but it's also kinda like math rock. A strange combination that actually works!Mark and Paul meet and begin creating music around the end of 2002. Paul taps and strums a self-customized 1980 Kawai graphite 4-string bass through a bi-amp setup. Mark plays big drums and loves his Zildjian Z Custom Mega Bell Ride. It's established some time after to remain a duo, having formed an interesting blend of mathy, jazzy, proggy, ambient, instrumental rock. The first public performance is in late 2004. Live shows continue to increase in intensity and are nearing critical mass. They have shared the stage with such varied talent as Unwed Sailor, Oso (ex-Volta do Mar), MOGGS, Rabbits and The Velvet Teen.
