SWORN ENEMIES

Man, that thing is loud!

About Me

"they have the simplicity of a band playing on the front porch of a feed store. Yet, Sworn Enemies straddles this rural tradition and their own style by merging honky-tonk inspiration with indie Americana savvy." -The Independent Weekly (Lafayette, La)

Sworn Enemies is the Birmingham-based foursome of Adam Edwards, Wes Frazer, Jason Burns (all Alabama natives), and Byron Sonnier, a cajun transplant from Lake Arthur, Louisiana. Using a simple drum kit, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, clawhammer banjo, upright bass and a zydeco rubboard, Sworn Enemies calls upon their roots in the sounds of Alabama and Louisiana to deliver songs that range from upbeat, honky tonk slap-rhythm numbers to quiet, longing, frailing tunes. The band has been rambling their way across the Southeast, performing songs off of their self titled EP and rousing audiences into a footstomping, dancing frenzy!
