Spend less time trying to fit in and more time embracing what makes you different. You can always be a better version of yourself, but you need to start by being OK with who you are now.
Hey in case you’re living under a rock, that isn’t called punk rock, it’s Lagwagon Day! Only one of the most punk bands to ever exist, duh. Lagwagon have inspired a ton of bands, including The Swellers. If you’re a fan of punk rock or even skate punk, check them out.
Here is a video of The Swellers playing a cover of Lagwagon’s song “May 16” back in 2010.
Enjoy!

Hey guys,
we honestly have not gotten a chance to go through all the contest submissions, so if you’re still looking to submit, I’m adding a 48 hour grace period on. If you’re on the fence about sending it in, go ahead and do it! We’ll announce a winner on the 15th.

I need my sanity, so I keep thinking that someone looks at the same time.

TONIGHT
is the LAST night that you can submit your Swellers story for our contest. So if you’ve been working on it or on the fence about submitting, GET IT DONE TONIGHT! We can’t wait to go through them and share them all. :)

Braided Veins (Members of the Swellers, Empty Orchestra, Kid Brother Collective) was ridiculously good last night at their first show. Check out this video of their set!
Finally got this thanks to @jonodiener! Also thank you to @absolutepunk and @bornandbredny 👌🙏😸
Check out this sweet prize pack I won from the Swellers/Born & Bred contest on Absolutepunk back in January! I’m keeping the shirt, the record, and one of the matchbooks, but Kayla’s getting the hat, the lyric sheet, the comb, and the other matchbook. Super stoked on it! —Sara
CONTEST REMINDER
Hey, nerds, if you want to win some exclusive Michigan-only posters and some HAND WRITTEN LYRICS, all you have to do is tell us about your favorite Swellers-related memory from the past two years. It’s not that hard, and you only have a few days left to do it! Submit your stories HERE, and take a look at what you’ll be winning HERE. We’ll be going through submissions when Kyle is in Michigan next week and I really don’t want to have to extend the deadline like we always have to with contests. Don’t snooze on this!
—Kayla
“True colors always show
It’s in my heart and it’s all I know”
I feel like this song doesn’t get enough love. So guess what? We’re posting it. Hope everyone is having a swell weekend :)
