Swampboots
Space and Time / Pickup on 95th Street
Review by Gary Hill
The mix of sounds on this two song release is pretty intriguing. There is a lot of Americana here, along with alternative rock, punk, psychedelia and more. It’s cool stuff. I’d like to hear more from Swampboots, really.
This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2014 Volume 5 at lulu.com/strangesound.

Space and Time
As this starts, it makes me think of Tom Petty just a bit. It works out to more of an alternative rock vibe. There is some psychedelia in this and almost some modern progressive rock. It’s a cool jam that is both modern and classic in sound. This gets run though some cool changes and there’s a great fuzz-laden heavier section late in the piece. |

Pickup on 95th Street
Much more of a straightahead rocker, this makes me think of Bob Dylan meets the White Stripes. There is definitely a retro rock edge, but also a punk rock one. |
