The latest offerings have been received with great success already, with one of their songs 'Wishing I Had You', the number one hit on the regional community radio chart last week, alongside illustrious company.

"We were number one on the regional chart, which means that we were the most played song on regional stations, Australia wide. I think number two was Birds of Tokyo, so we're pretty blown away to top them," guitarist and lead singer Corey Legge said.

The band started out in Lismore with two members hailing from the Bega Valley, even though they hadn't met in their local community before.

Legge, who'd grown up in Bega, hadn't met Cobargo's Mitch Broadhead until they were studying music together in Lismore and decided to form a band.

"I was vaguely aware that there was a great drummer living just north of Cobargo, but we'd never properly crossed paths before," Legge said.

A year later Luke Ligtenberg joined, bringing with him his skills in bass, didgeridoo and vocals.

Over the course of the years the band toured and played across the country as well as at prominent Australian festivals.

Recent stand out performances include Blues on Broadbeach in Queensland and Queenscliff Music Festival in Victoria.

In 2016, drummer Broadhead became very unwell and has since had to take a break from touring, however Legge said they had high hopes he will be able to join for their final tour.

Legge said the album will feature a collection of all the songs they've written over the last 10 years, ranging from songs they wrote in their first year through to songs they've written in 2021.

"For those that have followed us for the whole 10 years, you can really see the development from those early songs and the themes of optimism at the start of our career, all the way through to the songs that we've written recently," he said.

The song Legge found most relevant in the new album is 'One Step Forward, Two Steps Back'.

"It really sums up the times that we're living in and how hard it is to pursue a career in music and be successful," he said.

Much like the rest of the musicians out there, the Swamp Stompers have had many setbacks as a result of COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions.

"We have had to cancel about 25 shows and we've pushed them all to late 2022 instead," Legge said.

The Swamp Stompers didn't let these setbacks get them down however, and decided they'd release their album ahead of their tour.

"We wanted to put it out into the world, so people had something to look forward to during lockdown. And it gives everyone a chance to learn the lyrics and get familiar with the songs before we play them live next year," Legge said.

The trio is looking forward to play in the Bega Valley again, after not performing in the Far South Coast for two years.

"Obviously, with bushfires and COVID-19, we had to cancel about three tours. But we're looking to hopefully get down to the Bega Valley in around October or November next year."
