SWAMPBOX, heralding from the Philadelphia and southern New Jersey area, specializes in modern alternative rock, featuring powerful, guitar-driven hard rock with melodic twists. The group is an explosive four-piece band employing a conscious drive to forge a unique path in music. With seasoned professional members previously from major acts such as Faith Or Fear, Robert Hazard and the Heroes, Rough Toyz, and Drastic Measures, the chart-climbing band delivers a commanding cross-genre musical style that has drawn comparisons to artists such as Ozzy Osbourne, Finger Eleven, Green Day, and The Foo Fighters.
Founded by longtime friends in the professional music scene, SWAMPBOX has quickly gained attention from international radio as well as venues and promoters. Marketing the current release SWAMPBOX III, the group’s second full-length album and follow-up to the critically-acclaimed Weight Of Millions, the band is now in rotation on more than 100 radio stations internationally, and interest in the group is quickly growing across the globe.
The worldwide success of the band has earned them the top 20 spot in Ernie Ball’s top unsigned bands of 2017, and media coverage of their refreshing songwriting style coupled with an eclectic blend of influences and styles has catapulted the band into the spotlight of radio and listeners alike.
Well, we've got some great news for SWAMPBOX fans! The masters of alternative/metal/rock mashup have returned with their newest offering, SWAMPBOX III. Featuring nine new powerful compositions (and a surprise in there somewhere), III showcases the foundation-shaking twists and turns listeners have raved about since their first basement release, The Bomb, in 2013.
Armed with a newly-energized approach to songwriting and recording, vocalist/guitarists Michael Shaw and Paul Kuntz worked diligently with bassist John Digue and drummer Edward Schwegel to craft a contemporarily heavy substructure with stunning rhythms and melodic vocals. Building on the multinational success of the 2016 release, Weight Of Millions, the band focused on the elements that have garnished them media and radio praise.
Embarking on the new adventure also includes the announcement of a new record label. SWAMPBOX is joining the Alistar Entertainment Group, which is currently distributing the release at all major online chains as both digital downloads and physical CDs. You can pick it up now on iTunes, Amazon Music, Google Play, CD Baby, as well as over 1500 chains across the globe. Be sure to check in on some of the band's favorite radio programs for exclusive releases and offers.
