A supergroup comprised of several veteran musicians, Swag plays a rousing blend of power pop and indie rock. In 1996, keyboardist
Jerry Dale McFadden (
Sixpence None the Richer) met guitarist
Robert Reynolds (
the Mavericks) while their two bands were touring together. Their similar interests prompted them to put together an open-ended musical project, eventually ensnaring drummer
Ken Coomer (
Wilco), multi-instrumentalist
Doug Powell (a solo artist on Not Lame Records), and bassist
Tom Petersson (
Cheap Trick). The group's Nashville recording sessions produced a couple of limited-edition singles in the late '90s and a 10" picture disc EP Different Girls in 2000. Their hard-to-find singles as well as eight new songs were compiled for their 2001 full-length debut
