Las Vegas-based heavy rock band Swaggermouth is set to unveil their distinctive blend of “controlled chaos” with the upcoming release of their debut album “Never Shut Up,” slated for a late July launch via Rock Avenue Records USA. Spearheaded by frontman Jason Ebs, who boasts prior experience as a vocalist and guitarist on the “Bad Boys of KISS” tour alongside Peter Criss and Ace Frehley, the album was meticulously crafted at Ebs’ recently acquired “Dragon Castle Studio,” formerly owned by platinum-selling rock group Imagine Dragons.
The production, mixing, and mastering of “Never Shut Up” were helmed by Jason Ebs himself. Notably, the album features renowned drummer Chris Slade from AC/DC, who collaborated with Jason and frontwoman Janea Chadwick Ebs in co-writing the tracks. Today, on May 15, the band unveiled the lead single “Let It Roll,” a dynamic showcase of Jason and Janea’s harmonious vocals and the band’s infectious, upbeat sound—a style Jason describes as “Slammin’ Pop.”
“Let It Roll” will receive its official radio debut on SIRIUS XM’s Ozzy’s Boneyard’s “Ultimate Sinners” show (Channel #38) during Jason’s guest DJ set, commencing at 9am PT/12pm PT.
Reflecting on “Never Shut Up,” Jason remarks, “Musically, it encompasses a range of human emotions, from intense heaviness to tender moments, reflecting the spectrum of real-life experiences. We’ve named it ‘Never Shut Up’ because lyrically, we tackle contemporary societal issues. As Americans, we often find ourselves hesitating to speak freely, and it’s crucial to retain our voices and stand up for our beliefs. We must ‘Examine Society and Question Authority.’ ‘Enough with the Normalization of Madness.'”
Accompanying the album release, Swaggermouth has unveiled the visually captivating music video for “Let It Roll.” Shot at various iconic Las Vegas locations, including Ebs’ studio, the abandoned Wheel of Misfortune mining site, and the youth music school Rockstars of Tomorrow, the video also features Vegas’ renowned showgirls from Vintage Vegas Entertainment. The video showcases Swaggermouth’s live lineup comprising Jason (vocals/guitars), Janea (vocals), Borgi (keyboards), Joseph Nile (bass), and Billy Kessner (drums).
