THE SWIFT DRAG
Southern-psychedelic rock power duo The Swift Drag hails from Austin, Texas and features Will Evans (vocal, guitar) and David Jobe (drums). The Swift Drag knows the recipe for ‘more than meets the eye’ when it comes to filling a room with sound. Evans’ moody vocals, ear-splitting guitar riffs and thick sub-octave bass tones combine with Jobe’s thundering back beats (did we mention the gigantic 30 inch bass drum!?). The Swift Drag is a dance, a dynamically charged battle for sonic space that easily rivals your favorite four piece band. But the intricacy of their music is not to be overlooked. The experience they create within the limitations of a two piece band is expansive and packed to the gills with grit and intention. “Making music within these limitations has become an obsession of ours. The thrill we get from hearing these ideas come to life and pull people in is the driving force behind the music we create,” says Evans.
Keep an eye out for The Swift Drag as they continue on the quest to share their unique flavor of the ‘two piece band’. Debut album Tractus Velocis is out now!
