Alternative Press has named our new album, Good For Me, one of their favorite albums from the first half of 2011!!
THE SWELLERS Good For Me (FUELED BY RAMEN)
Bill Stevenson produced the Swellers’ second FBR album, Good For Me. To say that vocalist/guitarist Nick Diener was thrilled about this arrangement would be a vast understatement—after all, he and his bandmates are huge fans of Stevenson’s influential pop-punk band, the Descendents. Good For Me naturally has plenty of infectious pop-punk signifiers: breakneck drumming, pristine harmonies and hooks to spare. But the Swellers aren’t trying to emulate their heroes as much as they’re striving to perfect their own sound; in fact, Good For Me displays rather-impressive songwriting progressions. “Parkview” is the best tune Alkaline Trio didn’t write, while the nostalgic-but-optimistic “The Best I Ever Had” is a bona-fide summer anthem.
Nick and Jonathan will be chatting live tomorrow night at 8pm EST via Yowie.com - stop by and ask them about Good For Me, upcoming tour plans, dogs, or anything else that you want!

Review Rinse Repeat
“Fans will hear a band maturing and really finding their stride, while still staying true to their roots.”
Behind The Hype
“It’s been a great year so far for pop punk revivals, and The Swellers may have released the best of the bunch.”
AbsolutePunk.net
“Good For Me is a delicious slice of rock and roll that’s big on nostalgia, ranging from aggressive alt-rock numbers to breezy pop-punk anthems.”
Sputnik Music
“It all comes together near perfectly on the energetic and catchy lead single ‘The Best I Ever Had’, where the engrossing nostalgic theme that runs throughout Good For Me, hits home on multiple personal levels.”

Alternative Press posted one of the first reviews of The Swellers’ new album Good For Me. Click HERE to read the full thing and don’t forget to pick up your copy of it next Tuesday! AP compares the album to Descendents, Weezer, The Ataris and Foo Fighters:
“The band proudly wear their influences on their collective sleeve throughout Good For Me’s 35 minutes, dealing in buoyant, Descendents-esque pop-punk and sludgy, stomping midtempo rock a la Weezer’s Pinkerton. “Runaways” and “The Best I Ever Had” recall the effortless, bouncy pop-rock of the Ataris ca. So Long Astoria, while “The Damage” and “Nothing More To Me” are cut from the same modern-rock cloth on which Foo Fighters built their empire.”
