THE SWIFT DRAG
Hailing from Austin, Texas, The Swift Drag is a Southern psychedelic rock power duo featuring Will Evans on vocals and guitar and David Jobe on drums. Armed with ear-splitting guitar riffs, thick sub-octave bass tones, moody vocals and thunderous backbeats, the duo delivers a sound that defies its two-piece configuration. Add Jobe’s gigantic 30-inch bass drum to the equation, and the result is a sonic force that rivals bands twice their size. Be prepared for a dynamically charged live performance—a battle for sonic space where grit, intricacy, and intention collide. Working within the limitations of a two-piece band, Evans and Jobe have developed an expansive sound that is as deliberate as it is explosive.
“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 what fuels the music we create,” says Evans.
Keep an eye out for The Swift Drag as they continue their quest to share their unique take on the two-piece band. Their debut album, Tractus Velocis, is out now!
