The weird, The Ethereal, And The Otherworldly With Swamp City Rockers
As we continue to hype up the release of our Locals Only Comp Album on September 3rd, featuring a stellar lineup of local talent- want to show off the local legends, Swamp City Rockers.
Hailing from Toms River, NJ, Swamp City Rockers have been delivering their unique brand of rock and roll for over a decade. Originally a trio, they’ve since expanded with an additional guitar player, enhancing their already vibrant sound. Their passion for rock music is only rivaled by their fascination with the paranormal—believing in ghosts and extraterrestrials, they dream of a world where such mysteries are embraced with open arms.
Among the highlights of their journey is their heartfelt tribute to the nostalgic charm of Palisades Park, a legendary amusement park that captivated North Jersey from 1898 until its closure in 1971. For Swamp City Rockers’ Patrick, the park symbolizes the carefree joy and romance of bygone days, a sentiment beautifully captured in their music.
Patrick shares, “I’ve always been drawn to the carnival atmosphere of amusement parks and parades, a love that grew from my childhood spent around the boardwalk in Seaside Heights. Freddy Cannon’s 1962 hit ‘Palisades Park’ perfectly encapsulates the thrill and romance of a night at the park, where anything could happen. It’s a magical place where the lights and excitement could lead to a wild adventure or even a chance encounter with someone special. But once Labor Day passes, the magic fades until next season, and the park closes its doors until summer returns.”
Freddy Cannon, a rock and roll pioneer, is known for his upbeat and infectious songs that defined the early 60s rock scene.
His track “Palisades Park” not only celebrates the vibrancy of amusement parks but also captures the carefree spirit of an era that Swamp City Rockers hold dear. Cannon’s energetic style and memorable tunes have left a lasting legacy, influencing countless artists and continuing to resonate with fans of all ages.
