The infamous SwampMeat duo was born back in late 2006, after Danny C aired some of his tales of heartbreak and woe to Stevie Copter who was convinced there was something in the SwampMeat sound.
Several early mornings, bleary eyes and empty bottles later, and with brother T-Bird, throwing down the backbeat, SwampMeat’s debut longplayer “Double Dutch & Moonshine” was born.
Not only have the band release this triumph of record on the illustrious Coldrice label (home to the likes of Copter, the Big Bang and Black Mekon), but 2007 saw them share a stage with the likes of Piney Gir, Dan Sartain, The Dexateens and Ladyfingers to name but a few.
In the same year, Swampemat also hit the US. Playing two storming shows in both New York and Philadelphia and also saw 2008 in with a momentous NYE show at Londom’s Bloomsburry Bowling Lanes. The band have continued to wow audiences worldwide throughout this year and played a storming set at SXSW picking up even more US fans, gaining extensive radio play and now look likely to appear on the soundtrack of next year’s MTV second Dirty Sanchez Movie.
With new bass player “B-Steady” (Big Bang’s Matt Symth) now joining the live line up, SwampMeat intend to finish second album ‘Camp Heartbreak’ very soon and hit the road promoting all new hits like ‘Brand New Cadillac’.
Combining the simplicity and truth of the most honest country music and the roughness and urgency of the most poignant blues, SwampMeat are all about the true appeal of songs when it is stripped bare, just like it used to be.
