Background

Peace and Love is the most political album of the Swingin' Utters to date. The band states that this textual change is a direct consequence of the policy of president Donald Trump, who won the US presidential election in 2016, whose policy singer Johnny "Peebucks" Bonnel describes as "sexist, racist and nationalist".[6][8]

Peace and Love is the first Swingin' Utters album to feature a completely new rhythm section, consisting of drummer Luke (who joined the band in 2015) and bass guitarist Tony Teixeira (who joined in 2017).[5] Both band members previously played in Cobra Skulls. The artwork of Peace and Love was also inspired by them.[6]
