The revival swing of that era attracted some musicians that had previously only been involved in rock music, and who incorporated some punk-rock ideas into their swing. Two of my favorite bands from that time ate The Squirrel Nut Zippers and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. I can't recommend everything<br /><br />Some of my favorite songs from 90s' neo-swing bands include:<br /><br />Squirrel Nut Zippers:<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjGASsP2co0<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sxFyu_U2go<br /><br />Big Bad Voodoo Daddy:<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcWxbOhEhh4<br /><br />The Atomic Fireballs:<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UunvsU66B4Y<br /><br />Cherry Poppin' Daddies:<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igJ6ZeqkjOQ<br /><br />The Big Six:<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaEL0AtyC9U<br /><br />The Brian Setzer Orchestra:<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHxzcK0BAAw<br /><br />The Bill Elliot Swing Orchestra:<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXNrNhN0E1c<br /><br />Tom Maxwell:<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoSoufBn_2Q<br /><br />Utah even produced it's own short-lived punk-swing band called The Moxie Tonic Medicine Show, which never recorded a full album, only 3 or so demo songs:<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47hSW-miGMsJ.
