The Swift Drag

About

Southern-psychedelic rock duo The Swift Drag hails from Austin, Texas and features Will Evans (vocal, guitar) and David Jobe (drums).   As a guitar and drums based band, they are easily categorized alongside rock duo trail blazers The White Stripes and The Black Keys. Though these well known blues rock duos are an inspiration, the band ultimately takes their musical influences from 60’s-70’s psychedelic rock, blues greats, and 90’s grunge/stoner rock.   The Swift Drag officially formed in 2014 and their self produced debut release, We Won’t Need That - EP made its way to listeners in 2017. This EP features a total of five songs which were tracked live in a single studio session at Century Recordings in Dripping Springs, Texas.   In 2019 the band went back into the studio to track four new songs and released The Designer (single) in February of 2020 as a limited edition 7” split vinyl by Secret Soup Records out of Austin, Texas which later became available as a digital release. After reluctantly holding on to their recently recorded songs for over two years due to the show stopping pandemic, the band finally released their sophomore EP, Still Sitting Still in June 2022.   In 2023 The Swift Drag was selected to perform as an "Official Artist" at the South By Southwest music festival in their home town and continues on their quest to ‘Wow’ crowds with their own unique flavor of the ‘two-piece band.’ New music is on the way in 2024.
