This week, Drew Beats and BJ Buds light it up with post-hardcore band SWAE—the Charlotte-based trio (Carlos, Tucker, and absent-in-body-but-not-in-spirit Jonathan) bringing heavy grooves and hilarious energy. The guys dive into everything from reconnecting with ex-bandmates (and why it’s kind of like hooking up with an ex), to forming the band, vibing through genre-blending, and sharing stories about wild stage antics.
We hear about how SWAE got its name (spoiler: it’s a NSFW acronym), how Carlos and Jonathan reunited via a sketchy Instagram DM, and how Tucker went from being a fan to being in the band. The crew spins Incubus' Morning View on vinyl while swapping stories about the influence of System of a Down, Emery, AFI, Brand New, and what it means to grow up in the age of Nu Metal and punkcore.
From bass-playing chaos to Crabcore nostalgia, Charlotte’s music scene, and getting neck cramps from headbanging in your 30s—this episode is equal parts music nerd-out and straight-up comedy.
