Ednaswap

Ednaswap was a rock band from Los Angeles, United States, that existed between 1993 and 1998. Over a span of five years, the band released four major label records on East West, Elektra Records and Island Records. The band is known for their song "Torn", which appeared on their debut album and was later covered by Lis Sørensen, Trine Rein, Natalie Imbruglia and One Direction.

History

In 1993, songwriters Scott Cutler and Anne Preven invited Rusty Anderson, and Paul Bushnell to join their new band, Ednaswap. Frontwoman Anne Preven came up with the band's name after she dreamed she was in a band of the same name that was so bad they were booed off-stage.

Soon after recording an acoustic demo, the band was signed with the EastWest label. Ednaswap's self-titled 1995 album was the band's only record for EastWest, and the album was never put into wide release. Ednaswap was released from their contract after the album was out. The band was immediately signed by Island Records. During this time, they briefly called themselves Edna Swap rather than Ednaswap.

Ednaswap (album)

Ednaswap is the first album by Los Angeles band Ednaswap, released in 1995 by East West Records. It was the band's only record for the East West record label. The album was never put into wide release and the band has said that it was a disappointing experience. They were released from their contract after the album was out. Ednaswap was almost immediately signed by Island Records.

Natalie Imbruglia covered the song "Torn" for her 1997 debut album Left of the Middle. Sinéad O'Connor covered the song "The State I'm In" for her 2000 album "Faith And Courage"

Release

The release of the album was hampered by many issues. The band has said that while recording, East West disliked their sound, finding them to be too grungy. Anne Preven stated that she believed they were signed "too early" after having written only four songs, and never having performed in front of a live audience. The label apparently wanted them to take a more acoustic, pop direction. The album was released, but Eastwest put no effort into promoting it and balked at supporting Ednaswap on tour, even when they were asked by popular band No Doubt to tour with them (Ednaswap was even mentioned in the liner notes of No Doubt's 1995 album Tragic Kingdom). These issues contributed to Ednaswap's departure from East West.
