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.

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. :)

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!

“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 :)

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.

TODAY IS OUR TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!
That’s right, FYTS has been a blog for TWO WHOLE YEARS. We’ve gotten over 550 followers, found a whole lot of new friends, and enjoyed the ride. It’s a little after midnight in Michigan, but I just had to say something. During the day, I’m going to make a really cool announcement, so pay attention! Thanks for sticking with us and for making us feel loved. We truly appreciate each and every one of our followers, and I’m sure the guys appreciate seeing the love you all have for them. Here’s to many more years of good music.

It looks like Jono is answering questions about LP4 over on his blog, so if you have anything you NEED to know, now would be the time to ask/check out the stuff he’s already answered.
Also, friendly reminder that our two year anniversary is in two days, and we have a very cool thing that you should look out for!
