Growing up together in Australia’s southernmost point, Tasmania, Andrew, Hendrik, Ben and Zac’s debut record “Paid Salvation” was touted as “about to put Tasmanian music on the map” (Double J). “Paid Salvation" showcased the band’s unique swagger, a blend of explosive guitar riffs, thunderous drums, and powerful vocals that brimmed with passion and energy. The album was championed by The Guardian, NME, MOJO, BBC1, Beats One, Clash Magazine and many other notable music publications including a sync on the recent remaster of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.

Over the course of their career, A. Swayze & the Ghosts have toured extensively and taken their “unpredictable, risky and unhinged” (Triple J) show to festivals such as Splendour in the Grass, Falls Festival, and The Great Escape (UK). In addition, they have joined the stage with acclaimed acts such as Shame (UK), Total Control, Jet, and Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes (UK).
