Colton Swade is the band and country rock is the focus. Storytelling and emotion are some of the ingredients, blended with technology. Tracks for the first album are gritty, upbeat and downtrodden. The lyrics will provoke you to look inward, outward and listen twice.

Blending raw human storytelling from Kx Brown with the voice from Colton Swade, their music lives at the intersection of tradition and innovation – where dusty back roads meet the digital frontier.

Kx Brown is a songwriter, drummer, and multi-instrumentalist. He has written and performed songs with influences ranging from 70’s hard rock to 80’s hair metal, from 90’s grunge to 2000’s pop punk. The stories he tells resonate with listeners across all genres.

Revisiting past lyrics and writing new songs that he hopes to foster inspiration. Topics include feelings of loss, love, happiness, hardship, failure, success and redemption. The words are supported by raw guitar riffs, thumping bass, and stylistic drumming. The music brings the stories to life…and a desire for a long drive in a classic muscle car with his loyal hound.

Colton Swade’s music is created by a real musician, with stories and rough roads – and the refusal to fit neatly into any box. Technology helps shape the melody by expanding the boundaries of what country rock can be without losing its soul.

Tradition in the blood. Technology in the hands. Truth in every note.
