Legendary Swagger, The
Broke And Broken
CD includes album cover art fold out poster and lyric sheet! Geoff Yeaton and Skot Pollok met while playing in bands in the Orange County music scene. Geoff's powerful, gritty yet melodic voice blended well with Skot's straight-ahead, early Clash style of guitar playing, and The Legendary Swagger was born. The Legendary Swagger's sound is all about bringing in many influences, from early OC/LA punk to '70s garage rock. They pulled from some of their favorite bands, such as The Clash and The Replacements, to create a sound that had the power of punk but with a solid balance of melody and rock and roll groove. The last twist to the sound was Geoff's saxophone, rounding out the sound and bringing the music to a new maturity level. After a succession of members, the band landed on its final lineup which includes Dino Everett on bass and Jimmy Sena on drums. The added songwriting abilitis of these new members, joined together with Skot and Geoff's already powerful and catchy writing, created the model for the new California sound. Over the years, The Legendary Swagger has shared the stage with such notable acts as Social Distortion, The Black Halos, The Adolescents, Agent Orange, Shattered Faith and The Supersuckers. In the new era of one-hit wonders, American Idol and "Mall Punk", The Legendary Swagger fills the void with powerful, heartfelt songs about life, death, love and struggle. The Legendary Swagger is what true rock and roll was meant to be.
