Swingin' Utters - BlankTV Interview - BlankTV/Fat Wreck Chords - (2012)
Artist City, Country: San Francisco, California, U.S.A.
Artist Bio: One of the more traditional-sounding of California's punk revival bands, Swingin' Utters formed in the late '80s around a first-name-only lineup of vocalist Johnny, guitarists Max and Darius, bassist Kevin, and drummer Greg.
Originally based in Santa Cruz, these street punks later moved to San Francisco and recorded for several different labels, including Side One, IFA Records, and New Red Archives.
The group first released 1992's 'Scared' as Johnny Peebucks & the Swingin' Utters, but things really started to happen for them three years later with their full-length 'The Streets of San Francisco'. The album garnered the band much attention, including Best Debut Album at the Bay Area Music Awards, and Swingin' Utters soon found themselves on the first annual Vans Warped Tour. They later also toured with Rancid before signing to Fat Wreck Chords (run by NOFX's Fat Mike).
Swingin' Utters released 'A Juvenile Product of the Working Class' in 1996 and 'Five Lessons Learned' two years later. The 'Sounds Wrong' EP from 1995 was re-released by the label in 1998, with the 'Brazen Head' EP following the next year.
Around the same time, the guys also lent six tracks to a split with Youth Brigade as part of the BYO Split Series. The band's self-titled third studio effort was released in fall 2000, and national tours with the Damned and Dropkick Murphys further heightened the group's popularity among punk rockers. Their debut full-length, produced by Lars Fredericksen, was re-released in October 2001.
The next Swingin' Utters studio effort, 'Dead Flowers, Bottles, Bluegrass, and Bones', was issued in February 2003; a live album in the Live in a Dive series surfaced in summer 2004. By this time, the group comprised founding members Johnny Bonnel, Darius Koski, and Greg McEntee, along with bassist/vocalist Spike Slawson (Me First and the Gimme Gimmes) and guitarist Jack Dalrymple (One Man Army).
The band members went back to their other projects during what would turn out to be an eight-year gap between albums before getting back to business in 2011 with their much delayed seventh album, 'Here, Under Protest', which was followed up quickly in 2013 by the proto-punk-influenced 'Poorly Formed'.
A ninth album, 'Fistful of Hollow', appeared in 2014. ~ John Bush & Corey Apar
