About

Some Swords is a Louisvillle-area rock band, formed in 2018. Members include Brian Holton, Miguel Monroy, Joe Tichenor, and Jeremy Quillo.

History

2018-2023

Brian and Miguel began forming the band in early 2018, inviting original bassist Danny Loeschen and guitarist Jonathan Mobley (formerly of the band Elliott) to join. Jeremy joined last, and the band spent a year writing as a 5-piece group. Jonathan left the band in 2019, and the band continued as a 4-piece. They played several shows around Louisville, including opening for post-hardcore veterans Piebald and in local and regional venues. In the summer of 2021, the band released their first record, "The Eve of the End." The album consisted of a few old ideas spun into new songs, as well as several songs written during the previous three years. When Danny's job took him to Nashville, the band added Joe as their new bassist. The band continued playing shows and slowly writing new material.

2024 to Current Day

After a show in November of 2024, the band decided to take a hiatus from playing live in order to prep for a new record. They shifted their focus from booking gigs to writing. They have since brought Jeremy's daughter Noelle Quillo into the fold to manage their social media, and are currently working on finishing the final songs for the new album.
