Early Life
Swire was born and raised in Perth, Western Australia. He attended Scotch College, Swanbourne, graduating in 1999, where he first met fellow bandmateGareth McGrillen.[1] Over the next three years he worked as a record producer for several local drum and bass, breakbeat and metal music bands, during which time he occasionally used the stage name "Anscenic". He also made a couple of independent releases with former hardcore label Hardline Rekordingz, including a collaboration with the label's founder, Animal Intelligence, which was titled "Fat American Bitchcore".[2] Only twenty lathe cutcopies of the record were distributed, to help promote the label's 2001–2002 tour of New Zealand. Swire also produced a track titled "Electrodes on the Skull" which was released alongside three tracks by other artists signed to the label at that time.[3]
