In the Marine Corps, the swagger stick came into vogue in the latter part of the 19th century, and was a required article of uniform until WWI.
The first actual presentation of the swagger stick was made in 1569 when Charles IX of France made his brother Henry a Generalissimo and gave him one to signify his appointment.
Most famous of these changes was the banishing of the swagger stick to a place on the closet shelf next to the "Sam Browne" belt.
Swaggers earliest sound was influenced by the thriving Southern California punk scene.
Wanting to expand the sound to encompass more garage rock overtones, Swagger pulled from some of their favorite bands, such as The Clash and The Replacements, to create a sound that had the power of punk but with a solid balance of melody and rock and roll groove.
Swagger was also honored to be a part of the MTVs You Hear It First tour.
