Biography

Upon their departure from Swiz, guitarist/vocalist Jason Farrell and guitarist Dave Stern formed Bluetip with a rhythm section of bassist Jake Kump and drummer Dave Bryson. The group signed with Dischord in 1995 and issued its debut album, Dischord No. 101, the following year. Farrell and Stern formed a second band, this one called Sweetbelly Freakdown, with whom they released an album in 1997; back with Bluetip, they crafted the sophomore effort Join Us, which appeared in 1998; Polmer followed two years later. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

Bluetip was a rock band from Washington, D.C. It was formed in 1995 by ex-members of Swiz, and released four albums, an EP, and a number of singles before splitting up in January 2002.[1]

Bluetip's music is a fairly accessible brand of 'post-hardcore' punk rock, but without the bleak introspection of many of their Dischord labelmates. Jason Farrell's lyrics are quite often humorous and self-mocking, and there is a notable absence of political grandstanding.

In 2001, when Jason moved to New York, the band eventually folded. After Bluetip split up, Jason Farrell formed a new band, Retisonic. A reunion has been announced for 2008.
