Mitch Swanger has been drumming since he was two years old. Before he was running, he was sitting on his dad’s knee and barely reaching the drums. From an early age, Mitch always had a passion for drumming, but it was at age 12 that Mitch discovered Rush’s “Moving Pictures” album and his whole world changed. It was at that moment that he realized he wanted to drum professionally someday. In 2010, Mitch co-founded the band, Silent Theory. Since then, he’s released two albums (Black Tie Affair (2011) and Delusions (2016), been on multiple national tours, and has had worldwide radio success. Their first single, Fragile Minds, released June 2016, and charted at #97 for Media Base Active-Rock and #29 for Under the Radar charts. It has since surpassed 2 million video views on YouTube and continues to grow rapidly. Following the success in June 2018, through Loudwire, the band released their second single, Watch Me Burn. The single charted at #67 on the Media Base Active-Rock charts. Silent Theory is currently wrapping up their next album in the studio and anticipating a fall release and national tour.
