Ednaswap was an American rock band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1993 and active until around 1998. Over the course of five years, the band released three albums and an EP through major labels including EastWest, Elektra Records, and Island Records. The band is best known for the song “Torn,” written by members Scott Cutler and Anne Preven together with English musician Phil Thornalley. The song was first recorded by Danish artist Lis Sørensen, later appeared on Ednaswap’s debut album, and has since been covered by numerous artists, including Trine Rein, Natalie Imbruglia, Matt Hall, Tori Amos, Hands Like Houses, Neck Deep, One Direction, and Phoebe Bridgers. In 1993, songwriters Scott Cutler and Anne Preven invited Rusty Anderson and Paul Bushnell to join their new band, Ednaswap. Preven came up with the band’s name after dreaming she was in a group with that name that performed so poorly they were booed off stage. Shortly after recording an acoustic demo, the band signed with EastWest Records. Their self‑titled 1995 album was their only release for the label and never received wide distribution. EastWest dropped the band soon after, and Ednaswap subsequently signed with Island Records. During this period, they briefly used the spelling Edna Swap instead of Ednaswap.
