Swords was an American indie rock ensemble established in 1999 in Portland, Oregon. Initially known as The Swords Project, the group abbreviated their name to Swords in 2003 to embody their identity as "contracted assassins of rock." Their recordings were issued through the Arena Rock and Absolutely Kosher labels. In May 2006, the band declared their dissolution, although members suggested potential future collaborations that ultimately did not materialize.
