PRESS
"When we made up the term "Swamp Tech" in the mid 90s, it was not so much to describe a scene that existed, but more to will an imaginary one into existence - Southern rockers moving beyond blues scales and guitars and embracing drum machines and synths covered in sweat...busted beats electronics that hit hard but serve recognizable songs, blurred by the patina of sitting underwater for a while. Uhhhh...Crush Diamond done smashed the glass ceiling and made it real! Also
this drummer is on his own very special wavelength...you gotta see it to believe it."
