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!

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

It’s in my heart and it’s all I know”

therightnotes:

Got a new tattoo! “Feet First”. it’s the title of my favorite song of one of my favorite bands, the Swellers. the song and the band mean so much to me and I’ve wanted this tattoo for a while now so I’m really happy to finally have this :)  Got it done by Bryan at Red Light Tattoo in Zandvoort, the Netherlands.

Check out our friend Tanja’s new tattoo! Looks super rad.

Do you want to win some exclusive stuff from special Michigan Swellers shows?! Well, today is your lucky day. We’re celebrating our two year anniversary as a blog, and we just happen to have these two posters laying around to give out! The first is from the Detroit date of the Pentimento and Diamond Youth tour. The second is (obviously) from the amazing tenth anniversary show last August.

We will ALSO be giving away an exclusive hand-written lyric sheet for “Montreal Screwjob” (thanks Nick!), because it’s always been a favorite of ours, and the guys once learned how to play it just for us and our friends last year

What do you have to do to win?! All you have to do is be a follower of the blog and send us a story about your favorite Swellers-related moment from the past two years. It could be a live show, something funny/stupid the guys did, something you did with your friends, ANYTHING. Just your favorite memory that involves the band from the past two years. All we ask is that submissions be at least one decent sized paragraph. We will select a winner on MAY 11th, when Kyle is here in Michigan with me (Kayla).

We’re so happy to have been around for this long and for all the experiences we’ve been able to have because of the blog. We hope you guys feel the same way. We seriously can’t wait to start digging through all the submissions.

—The FYTS Crew
