Sounds Like
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!
