King Swamp is the debut album by the British rock band King Swamp, released in 1989. The track "Year Zero" was used during the pre-credit car chase sequence of the two-hour finale episode of Miami Vice, titled "Freefall" (first aired on 21 May 1989).
Critical reception
The Toronto Star wrote that the album is "a revisionist kick, less interesting than either of the principals' previous efforts, but buoyed by the urgent growl of Walter Wray".
