The Swellers

From the town of Flint, Michigan, comes new Fueled By Ramen signees The Swellers, a punk band that knows a thing or two about making hard, no-nonsense, but infinitely catchy music.

Brothers Nick and Jonathan Diener started The Swellers as a trio in 2002. The group molded its sound—a cross between classic punk and ’90s rock—at the Vehicle City’s local music incubator, the legendary Flint Local 432, an all-ages, volunteer-supported club. After cutting their teeth at “The Local” for a few years, the band hit the road to support their first release, a 2005 EP entitled “Beginning of The End Again”. In 2007, the band released the critically acclaimed “My Everest,” their first full-length album. To record album “Ups and Downsizing,” the Diener brothers were joined by new band members Ryan Collins and Anto Boros, solidifying the band’s current line-up.

The Swellers have announced their first ever UK shows – the band are confirmed for the Give It A Name Introduces Tour which kicks off on April 26th in Oxford and includes a date at London’s Kings College on May 6th, they will also be playing a string of their own headline shows, starting off with The Cockpit, Leeds on April 25th.
