Formed by Phil Judd (also a founding member of Split Enz), Wayne Stevens and Mark Hough in 1979, The Swingers evolved from one of New Zealand's first punk bands, the Suburban Reptiles. The group had already released the single ‘One Good Reason', which reached number 17 in the charts, before they were signed to Mushroom in 1980. But it was the song ‘Counting The Beat' that send The Swingers into pop cultural hisotry - rocketing the band to number one in the charts and selling in excess of 100,000 copies.
