DRAMARAMA SWAMP SONG SERIES

Though the song starts comparably slow, it is quite powerful. This song is having a strong 1990’s alternative rock sound – so the Dramarama fans will definitely smile and think of the good old days. Nice version, definitely – and a nice variety of sounds at this position of the album. If Abandoned Love feels to remind you of Bob Dylan, this is a cover – which, by the way, the band already played in 2008 tour appearings. The recording feels a bit damped, but the melody is catching and the repetitive parts make it an interesting listen. The song is going back to a more rhythmic character. I prefer other songs on Color TV, but alternative rock fans will enjoy this track as well.

The Swamp Song has a slightly swinging melody. The Cassette is rather slow, very melodic, the guitars are much more in the background than in other songs. The guitar solos on this album are cool, though. Nice recording, though I in general enjoy the more melodic tunes on this album slightly more. Unfortunately, the song is already quite old – I found live recordings of 2011, where the band performed this track already. Very melodic, reminds of quite some alternative anthems. The album start with Beneath the Zenith, which is already one of the best songs of the CD to me. However, the band regularly participated in festivals and had other gigs.

2005 also featured the band’s last studio album release, Everybody dies.

On the contrary, the band has been tearing up stages across the country the entire time. Boy” Englert and the “new guys”– drummer Tony Snow and bassist Mike Davis, aka The Thunder Brothers, who joined twenty or so years ago–have let any dust gather, any moss to grow. Thirteen years is a long time between releases, but it’s not as though the band, which includes original members/guitarists Peter Wood and Mark “Mr. Miracle or not, the new material highlights the overall timelessness of the band’s sound, which is as fresh today as when they released their critically acclaimed first album, Cinema Verite, in 1985. It really is nothing short of a minor miracle that I'm not dead or completely burnt out.' 'It’s a horrifying thing to realize that you care more about drugs than you do about your family or your health–both mental and physical. 'I consider myself an expert on the subject,' admits Easdale. A subject with which singer/songwriter John Easdale has vast personal past experience. …and now Dramarama is back with two new releases, 'Swamp Song' and 'It's Only Money.' Both of which were written in the not entirely recent past and both of which deal with addiction. Is the first single from John Easdale’s enigmatic band,Īnd the first new song from the band in 13 yearsįrom Dramarama’s forthcoming album due in 2019!
