FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Charlotte, North Carolina--February 26, 2007-- Charlotte, North Carolina--February 26, 2007--Don't look now but the south is gonna do it again! Swampdawamp has released a self-titled debut that will put them on the rock map very quickly. The disc, produced by Joe Boyland (Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bad Company, Nazareth), has a definitive sound.
Swampdawamp lead singer Gig Michaels calls their sound a blend
of classic, southern, and alternative rock. When it all comes
together, it sounds like a roots-blues-rock blend that is
infectious as it is unforgettable.
Swampdawamp sings about backyard barbeques, NASCAR, and
everything that makes up a culture born and raised in the south.
It's a "Sunday Southern Tradition" charged by emotionally
drenched vocals and peppered with red-hot guitar licks. This
band stays with you for each song from start to finish, every
song guarantees that there will be lyrics and music ringing in
your ears long after the final note plays.
The entertainment value of a band like Swampdawamp is evident on
their lively debut and the band's unique name and sound is hard
to forget. Their self-titled album is a good introduction for
listeners unexposed to their particular sound, and longtime fans
of the music will rejoice and recall great bands of yesteryear
that dished out the same kind of backyard cookin' that they came
to know and love. In many ways, Swampdawamp has old-fashioned
values in the way they play their music with such passion and
heart. Its music by the people for the people and it does not
get any simpler than that.
