Question:
Hey :) I'm headed up to the Atlanta date of the Swellers/You Me At Six co-headline this coming Friday and I've never ever listened to the Swellers but I've heard really really good things. The thing is, I'm super duper broke so I can't afford to buy any of the Swellers' discography. I was wondering if you knew of anyone/where that would be willing to link me to any of their CD's to download for free? I'd be eternally grateful if you did. Thanks so much! <3 -Erika

Answer:
Hey! Great to hear you’re looking into them! We don’t just give out download links on this blog, but a great alterative is getting Spotify! All of their music is on there and you can stream it, legally, for free!
Let us know what you think:)

Hi, I’d just like to add that we will never give out download links. Spotify and Rdio are your best bets. I’m really glad you’re interested in them though.

Pre Sales really help
This is our first full scale A market (big cities) co-headlining tour and we’re incredibly fortunate to have at least 5 sold out shows so far!
While the shows are great and the vibe rules, we’re getting tons of tweets and Facebook messages of people complaining they can’t get into the shows or asking for guest list. Our response is asking them to please consider getting pre sale tickets next time.
Our genre of music is known for walk-up ticket sales at the door the day of the show, but what really helps us in every way is our fans investing in advance tickets. It guarantees them a spot at the show, the numbers show our booking agent and the promoter how the show will do while giving them more reason to get us bigger and better things, and on top of everything we get to get more of OUR fans into the show before it potentially sells out. The reaction the crowd gives reflects on how many people are there mainly for us which is obvious, and without you guys there due to not getting tickets before it changes the dynamic of our show or any band’s show.
This tour is cheap tickets and long set times from the bands so you guys get your money’s worth! It’s for you so we want to make sure you get in!
There are plenty of tickets for the rest of these shows so please check them out at http://www.theswellers.com/tour
Remember, buying tickets is investing in the bands you love and placing a vote for the artists you want to succeed. Many people in the industry look at number and it helps us get better tours, higher slots on the shows and more money to invest in merch, paying rent and doing cool things in return for you guys.
Thanks for the support and I hope you think of all of this next time your favorite band announces a tour!
