We’ve been playing a new song live on our UK tour with The Blackout and Hyro Da Hero. It’s called, “The Best I Ever Had,” and here’s a live video that surfaced from the other night in Liverpool. We hope you all like it. US friends, we’ll be playing this on the upcoming Take Action tour this spring as well!
The lights drop out, and the song starts at about 1:20, but the audio is good!
New. Swellers. Song.
WE ARE RECORDING OUR NEW ALBUM WITH BILL STEVENSON STARTING NEXT WEEK! We’re super excited, and the songs are sounding awesome. Recording with Bill is a dream come true for us. Being in Black Flag, Descendents, All, and producing some of our favorite bands/records pretty much makes him our hero. Hopefully, the album will be out this summer, but we’re going to try and play some new songs for you all during our UK tour with The Blackout, and then also on Take Action with Bayside, Silverstein, and Polar Bear Club! Updates coming soon!
Alter The Press wrote a flattering review of one of our final Young Guns’ shows, Brighton to be specific. This was one of the two shows that we were lucky enough to be joined by our good friends in Set Your Goals. Much like yours’ truly, the first couple shows for their tour with You Me At Six had to get rescheduled!
Many Thanks to Alter The Press for the kind words! You can check out the interview here.
“The stage is set for the two main acts of the night, and first up is hook-laden pop rock in the form of The Swellers. Reared in Miami, the quartet are a refreshing addition to an over saturated pop-punk scene, and bring a sincerity and a dignity that shines through on every song. ‘Fire Away’ and ‘2009’ are performed at a thrashing high-tempo that sparks delirium in the pit, which fittingly, is one full of shining smiles and spine tingling sing-along. ‘Feet First’ is brilliantly written, lyrically as well as instrumentally, with “woahs” that will melt the heart of the most cynical of rock fans. It’s a sign of the band’s work ethic and general attitude towards their trade that they are waiting at the merch stand before and after their set with new and old fans alike, a trait increasingly rare in modern music.”
The awesome people at Rock Sound were kind enough to name Ups and Downsizing one of their top 75 albums of 2010! Even though the album came out during 2009 here in the states, we didn’t see it released in the UK until this year. We’ll take it! Thank you Rock Sound!
