The Wild Swans
About the artist
The Wild Swans are a band from Liverpool, England formed in 1980 by Paul Simpson (vocals) shortly after he left The Teardrop Explodes, first recruiting James Weston (bass), Justin Stavely (drums), ex-Teardrop Ged Quinn (keyboards) and ex-Systems Jerry Kelly (guitar). A year later, with Rolo McGinty now guesting on bass and Bunnyman Pete DeFreitas replacing Stavely on drums, they released the single "The Revolutionary Spirit" on Liverpool's Zoo label.
