SWA (pronounced swǒ) was an American band originally started as a concept defined by Chuck Dukowski, former bassist of Black Flag, while he was still a member of that band. The name (which is pronounced like "Swah" and not "S-W-A") was created by assigning an alphabetical value to numbers on a gaming die, then rolling the die three times.

Despite spots of MC5-ish excitement (“Optimist,” for instance), XCIII is a disappointment, with SWA’s best feature — Ward’s voice — partially blunted by Dukowski’s blurry production and Juncosa’s ceaseless garbage riffing.
