(PR) Charlotte, North Carolina's Swampdawamp announces the release of their 3rd album, Rock This Country, available now at most major digital retail outlets and in physical form on their official site. The album title translates perfectly the content and direction of this 12-track disc which, like the band, crosses the border between rock and country genres and clearly defines what has become the norm for this artist and its label, Big Penny Entertainment. Rock This Country was produced by Ken Coomer and Charlie Brocco.
Rock This Country is a true American blue-collar album throughout and the brilliant efforts of a band that defies being branded by New York or Nashville. Together, the songs and playing skills deliver a statement from a band that truly gets what their audience wants and what the new generation of listeners to find and cling to.
"This record is an absolute evolution of the band," says band leader Gig Michaels. I think we have captured the energy on this recording thanks to producer Ken Coomer and engineer Charlie Brocco. Working with those guys has been an incredible experience and the result is going to be the best sounding and best vibe the band has ever recorded. I am extremely proud of this record." Ken Coomer adds, "SwampDaWamp is big sexy! Guys wanna be them, girls wanna do them. Real Southern Rock like it should be….BIG!"
SwampDaWamp has been slugging it out all over the map for the past 5 years headlining at honkytonks, fairs, biker rallies and performing with greats like David Allen Coe, 38 Special, Confederate Railroad, Marshall Tucker and will continue to do so in the next several months in support of Rock This Country.
