Blending the punk sounds of the SST label (Black Flag, Minutemen) with those of '70s rock sludgemeisters, SWA debuted in 1985 with "Your Future (If You Have One)". Led by former Black Flag bassist Chuck Dukowski and vocalist Merrill Ward, the group released aCTUAL fACTS aBOUT sEX, dRUGS aND aNIMAL rIGHTS the following year and then added guitarist Sylvia Juncosa (also with To damascus). Majestic Grief followed in 1987, after which Evolution 85-87 summed up the first three albums. Juncosa left soon after to begin a solo career, with Phil Van Duyne replacing her on 1989's Massive R&B Winter 2008. It was SWA's last album, though Juncosa released solo albums in 1988 and 1989. ~ John Bush, Rovi
