Mick Sweda, the guitarist of the legendary rock band BULLETBOYS, is thrilled with the recent reunion of the band's classic lineup. In an exclusive interview with The Heavy Metal Kitchen, Sweda shared his excitement about the band's upcoming summer tour across America. He expressed his love for playing with his fellow band members, Marq Torien, Lonnie Vencent, and Jimmy D'Anda, stating that they picked up right where they left off. Sweda's passion for the music and the camaraderie within the band is evident, as he feels a deep sense of freedom and ownership over the material.
The BULLETBOYS' songwriting process is a collaborative effort, with each member bringing their unique creativity to the table. Sweda highlights the importance of this collective energy, hoping that it will coalesce into something even bigger. The band's reunion was a result of a series of unexpected events, with Vencent reaching out to Torien, and then Sweda and D'Anda joining the fold. This time around, the band members are in a much better place, with civil and productive conversations leading the way.
When asked about the band's future plans, Sweda reveals that while there's chatter about a new record, the primary focus is on getting the show together and playing some dates. He also hints at the possibility of revisiting old demos and songs, combining vintage BULLETBOYS sounds with a new take. The band's self-titled debut, released in 1988, peaked at number 34 on the Billboard 200 and spawned two hit singles, showcasing their unique blend of hard rock and blues fusion. With a new lineup and a fresh perspective, the BULLETBOYS are ready to rock the stages again and create new memories with their fans.
