King Swamp (album)

King Swamp is the self-titled debut album of the British rock band King Swamp. Originally released in May 1989, the album was well-received by critics. But, its failure to peak even in the top-150 on the Billboard 200 proved to be a bad omen. When their second album failed to chart anywhere in the U.S. or the U.K., the band split up. Despite the failure of the album to find a commercial audience, it did have the unique distinction of being featured on the 1980s TV show Miami Vice. The track 'Year Zero' was used during the pre-credit car chase sequence of the two-hour finale episode titled 'Freefall' (first aired on May 21, 1989).
