Bluetip was an American rock band from Washington, D.C., forming in March 1995 by ex-members of Swiz. They released four albums, an EP, and a number of singles before splitting up in January 2002.[{{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p200427/biography|pure_url=yes}} Bluetip] at AllMusic Originally, the band was to be named The Ohio Blue Tip, however the name was shortened to Bluetip early on.{{cite web|title=Interview with Jason Farrell|url=http://prankster101.com/music/interview-with-jason-farrell-of-bluetip/|website=Prankster101.com|date=19 September 2008 |publisher=Prankster 101|accessdate=2018-02-08}}
