Signs of Life from the Whirlwind Heat Camp

David Swanson, center.

After April Fool's Day rumors of a Whirlwind breakup, there is evidence of life left in Whirlwind Heat. One of our favorite bands, the Heatboys from Grand Rapids are spread across the country these days with no tours in sight. Fear not, a new album looms. David Swanson, a founding/surviving member of the moog-crazy trio recently sat down with Rich Tupica of Turn it Down.

In the interview, Mr. Swanson talked about recording a new Whirlwind Heat album, filming his own videos, and the extinction of CDs. Influenced by bands from the state of Washington, Swanson is a true artist with a DIY work ethic. His preference for one-named bands was evidenced when he revealed what he's listening to right now: Jeff, Phoenix, and Yacht. Read Mr. Tupica's article here. License

David Swanson, 26, is currently working on a new Whirlwind Heat album and documenting the next Raconteurs album.
