An amphetamine interpretation of rockabilly, country, and trucker punk.
If you travel on Interstate 15 between the Bluffdale State Prison (home
of famous Mormon murderers Mark Hoffman and the Lafferty
Brothers) and the wired little meth hamlet of Nephi, UT, you will find a
confederation of sleepy little towns that make up the torpid urban
sprawl better known as Utah County. Utah County also goes by the
charming nom de plomb of 'Happy Valley'-- but it is anything but
happy. With the worlds largest per capita use of both Prozac and
Ritalin, the County's dark and menacing underbelly is cleverly hidden
by its legions of seemingly happy citizenry painfully grinning like
crazed Cheshire cats. But just scratch underneath that chipper facade,
and you will find a people who are just one pill away from sucking on
the end of a twelve gauge.
It is in this climate that The Utah County Swillers were formed. This is
not a band made up of healthy (or hygienic) people. Sweatin' Willy,
the lead guitarist and singer of the band is a janitor at a local high
school where he spends the better part of the day oogling underage
girls. Derwood, the bass player, works at a brewery and has been
irreversibly affected by excessive consumption of the product which he
has dedicated his life to. Uncle Todd, who plays mandolin and steel
guitar, writes cowboy poetry, at least when he's not whimpering in the
fetal position. Young Buck, the drummer, well-- he's special.
But despite their personal 'issues' the Utah county
Swillers have been able to draw heavily on the history
and culture of Utah to create a unique sound. With
songs that deal with such diverse subjects as booze,
pills, polygamy, more booze, more polygamy, and more
pills, the Swillers have truly captured the twisted
zeitgeist that is...Utah County. - A.V. Gorgon

SWILLER OF THE MONTH!!
There aren't many folks that live out in Hollow Rock, Tennessee. But Paul Windslow is one of the 963 people who call the town his home. After dropping out of school, Paul spent a huge amount of time hanging out in the backwoods with his buddies drinking beer and shootin' rabbits. "We'd camp out there for days with our guns and just shoot shit." After a couple years Paul took a job at a local construction company as a framer. In 2003 he was helping frame a section of the new city county building when all of a sudden part of the structure collapsed. "None of us really knew what happened. It was like the roof just came down. Next thing you know I was in the hospital with all kinds of broken bones." Paul took his case to the courts and wound up getting a settlement that would surprise even the rich guys. "Now I just sit back and drink beer. The feds send me a monthly check, I even got free medicare. I wish I would have got hurt years ago if I knew it was gonna pay off this good. Keep paying your taxes America, I'm almost out of beer." Paul--it's your free beer drinkin' and tax money collecting ways that have earned you our Swiller of the Month!

I’ve been a music journalist for more than 10 years. Over the years, many artists and managers have asked me what the best way to break into the European music market is.
Here are some things you can do:
Publish artist press releases, news, and tour dates to the CountryHome Forum on MySpace, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , CountryHome Forum is part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine. Everything you publish to the CountryHome Forum will be published in my weekly Newsletter which has over 80,000 readers.
Send me CDs and DVDs for review and set up an artist interview with me. All reviews and interviews will be submitted to the magazines I'm writing for. More information for which magazines I'm writing can be found at http://www.MySpace.com/ChristianLamitschka
Upload artist videos to http://www.MyVideo.de and http://www.ClipFish.de . Both websites are like http://www.YouTube.com and uploading videos is free. The websites are completely in German. If you don’t speak German and need assistance, I will help you open an account and upload a video for 25 Euro. Each additional video upload for the same artist name and at the same video website is 10 Euro.
If you have more questions about the European music market or about any of the information I send to you today, please contact me at Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de too.
