Washington, D.C. It was formed in1995 by ex-members ofSwiz , and released four albums, an EP, and a number of singles before splitting up in January 2002. [ [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:0ifwxq9hld0e~T1 Bluetip] atAllmusic ]Bluetip's music is a fairly accessible brand of '
post-hardcore ' punk rock, but without the bleak introspection of many of their Dischord labelmates. Jason Farrell's lyrics are quite often humorous and self-mocking, and there is a notable absence of political grandstanding.After Bluetip split up, Jason Farrell formed a new band,
Retisonic . A reunion has been announced for 2008.Members
