SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: SWAMPBOOTS – DEFEATISM!

Swampboots

Swampboots
Defeatism!
Dead Stare Records

What do you expect when you hear of a band with the name Swampboots? I expected a southern rock band initially, but you don’t get that at all from their debut album. It’s more of a blend of Blink-182 with some Kings of Leon mixed in. They’re coming at you with their first album Defeatism!,and it is a very strong outing.

The tone and musicality is very punk, like Blink, and their vocals sound almost just like new Blink-182. The lyrics here are deep. Swampboots has some serious jams on this album. β€œCecilia Stahr” gets you amped and makes you want to sing along, but the album then kicks into a higher gear when they bring on β€œSalvage.”

This band is brand new, and I really can’t wait to see where they end up after a few years together. Swampboots, you have impressed me thus far.
