The Swampmen
The Swampmen, named after the titular character in the song Swampman and its sequels, is Covered in Bees alias. The Swampmen were formed to allow Covered in Bees the ability to play multiple shows in a short period of time and in close proximity without promoters finding out.

The Swampmen are evil-clones of Covered in Bees who worship Swampman and believe Covered in Bees must be destroyed for their blasphemy against their god. The Swampmen play three types of songs: songs they forgot, songs they haven’t learned yet, and covers. The Swampmen can be differentiated from Covered in Bees by their large angry eyebrows and all members start every bit of stage banter with “I hate…”

When Covered in Bees went on hiatus in 2010, their absence was attributed to having been murdered by their evil-clones The Swampmen.

Although they have yet to release an album, The Swampmen did release a limited edition t-shirt… which they hated.
