Guitarist Corey Hickok and keyboardist Britt Willits initially remained from Soi-Distant, and the lineup was rounded out by ¾ of the STP lineup we have come to know: Scott Weiland, Robert DeLeo, and drummer Eric Kretz. There was also a drummer named David Allin, a high school friend of Scott's, who played drums before Kretz. The details surrounding his time in the band are vague. Scott and Robert had seen Kretz performing with another band, and were impressed and immediately asked him to join their band. Kretz was from San Jose, California and attended Willow Glen High School. DeLeo eventually decided that they didn't need a keyboardist, and they became a four piece. The band were based in Hollywood but played in Los Angeles and Orange County. Swing had more of a funk and hard edged alternative rock sound than Soi-Distant, one of their early songs was called “Drop the Funk.” Dean, Robert's older brother, moved to San Diego in the mid 80's and became a successful businessman. He had given up the guitar, but helped out the early version of STP get some gigs down in San Diego.

ソイ・ディスタントからは当初、ギタリストのコリー・ヒコックとキーボードのブリット・ウイリッツが残留してはいたが、既に我々の知る所となるSTPメンバーの4分の3が出揃っている。スコット・ウェイランド、ロバート・デリオ、ドラマーのエリック・クレッツだ。またデヴィッド・エイリンというスコットの高校の友人もいて、エリックの前任としてドラムを叩いていた。この時代のバンドの詳細は実に混沌としている。スコットとロバートは、エリックが他のバンドで演奏しているのを見て衝撃を受け、すぐさま彼にバンドへの参加を要請した。クレッツはカリフォルニア州サンノゼの出身で、ウィローグレン高校に通っていた。デリオは最終的にキーボードは不要と決断し、バンドは4人体制となった。彼らはハリウッドに拠点を置き、演奏はロサンジェルスかオレンジカウンティで行なった。レパートリーはソイ・ディスタンス時代よりも、ファンクでハードなオルタナティヴロックの色彩が濃く、初期の曲に《ドロップザファンク》がある。
ロバートの兄であるディーンは、80年代中頃にサンディエゴに移り、ビジネスマンとして成功を収めていた。彼はギターを断念していたのだが、サンディエゴでのSTP初期のギグでは演奏をサポートしていた。
