The Swellers are a new group apart of SNR(New to me anyway) Check them out -->
Jono - Drums
Nick - Guitar/Vocals
Lance - Bass
Garret - Guitar
Official Website: http://www.theswellers.com
Listen at: http://www.purevolume.com/theswellers
The Swellers are in the process of bringing high-energy punk rock to all corners of the U.S. Their new breed of melodic and driving punk rock incorporates pop sensibility, making listeners pump their fist, and belt the words to every hook. It is "all-out punk rock with some good old rock riffs and catchy moments, regardless of any trends or fashion scenes" as State of Emergency coins it. It is refreshingly honest and talented music. The craftsmanship in song writing distinguishes The Swellers from the average punk rock crew. Complexly perfect vocal and guitar harmonies polish their collection of songs.
The Swellers have been perfecting their live act for the past two and a half years playing hundreds of shows and sharing the stage with such national acts as The Suicide Machines, Mustard Plug, Bowling For Soup, Much The Same, A Wilhelm Scream; as well as rocking three Warped Tour dates on the Ernie Ball stage. In the process The Swellers realized that they thrive on creating music that induces a high energy and highly interactive experience for themselves and those attending their performances.
Aside from writing killer songs that have helped to create a very solid fan base, The Swellers have also made several accomplishments that have pushed their music beyond the confines of Michigan. New demos helped The Swellers hit the top 10 unsigned punk rock bands on purevolume.com, as well as received airplay on various punk rock radio shows. They have sold over 1000 copies of the independently released retail ready ten songer entitled "End of Discussion" and other demo discs at shows and on the internet. They have sold over 400 t-shirts, and distributed thousands of stickers and buttons to help promote the band and keep gas in the tank. The Swellers have also picked up some sponsors along the journey, including Ernie Ball/Music Man, Pork Pie Drums, Silverfox Sticks, and Urraca Clothing.
The Swellers are building roots that will eventually support and transform them into a full-time nationally touring band. The plan is to finish up school - while touring during every "gap" possible - and then heading out on back-to-back tours across the United States.
Experiencing new places, meeting new people and to continuing to make music for the rest of their lives is the ultimate goal. The Swellers are taking every step possible to solidify the future success of the band. But no need to keep your fingers crossed; The Swellers' extreme hard work, dedication, and songs that rock even the pickiest punk rockers are a killer combo that will launch them. No good luck needed.

Thanks :) |

Hey.
I got an e-mail from Jonathon so now I can update you with more and hey it's not a month later? =P
He'd like me to mention stuff about the flyers. I know I did that earlier, but hey, I'll just repeat myself. For all I know you didn't even read the last entry or you weren't paying attention. I do not know. Point is, I'm telling you again and enough rambling, moving on!...
You can goto www.snrteam.com and goto downloads and print out flyers for the tour. It'd help them out a bunch. Also! There's a MySpace HTML code they have posted on the “projects” page (Project #1). You can also put it in your Livejournal, Greatestjournal, Blurty, Xanga, Deadjournal... and whatever else ones that they have came up with that I don't know about. We'd all like that to get out soon as possible and as much as possible! Everyone must KNOW! I mean why not? It's Bensin and The Sophomore Year.. RocK on. Haha. It would help a lot though. So I'd appreciate and the guys and Jonathon would TOO! So be helpful and HELP OUT! =D
One more thing. He wanted me to re-post the sched. So I guess you could ignore the last one and pay attention to this one.

Now, sorry eastern coasters but it seems they won't be reaching some of you or well US! It sucks, but hey, another time I'm sure. Anyways, here's the tour dates....
[ Edit: Yeah, after updating this, the banner doesn't show up so well, if you look on it on the comment page you can see it better. I'll try and fix it or something. Sorry. ]

To help promote, you can goto the www.snrteam.com site to help out. There's a download page you can download flyers and other materials to help out. So do it! OR! Even make some? Icons for journals or even AIM/AOL. Banners? Anything!
Also I was checking out www.bensinrock.com and aparently a couple of songs from Bensin are going to be on a game. It says..
Bensin to be featured on upcoming RockStar Games release!
Thats right! Two tracks, 'Let Go' and 'Holiday' are going to be featured on Motocross Mania 3 for Playstation 2 and Xbox! The game will be coming out on Feb. 15, 2005 so make sure you get your copy (it's cheap! only $20). Stay tuned for more information on this as it comes!
Pretty cool huh?
I've noticed more people adding this to their friends list as well for LJ. AWESOME. Do me a favor and well everyone at SNR Records I should say and TELL YOUR FRIENDS and have them tell THEIR FRIENDS and we'll have like a shit load of people eventually. O.K? =]
This will do for now. Sorry for such a belated update. I'll update more. Also, thanks to Sarah for that cool banner I put above the tour dates.

By the way - Happy New Year everyone. |

Hey Again.
I'm back with info and pics about The Sophomore Year. Other then that, no update on concerts or anything. But don't forget about the upcomming tour with Bensin and The Sophomore Year Winter Tour 05'. --->
http://www.searchandrescuerecords.com/WinterTour/index.html
---> Biography <---
Some time in late 2003, Jason Perez (lead vocals/guitar) and Andy Roy (vocals/guitar) left other musical endeavors to form the Atlanta, GA based band, The Sophomore Year. For reasons known only by the dearly departed, the duo went through drummers and bassists quicker than your local drive-thru goes through customers. As the old adage, 'Everything happens for a reason' goes, Mike Long (drums) and Michael Hunter (bass) finally completed the roster and The Sophomore Year has quickly become a force to be reckoned with.
With musical influences as varied as Van Halen, Led Zepplin, Journey and the Cars, the ensuing result is an energetic sound in the vein of Yellowcard and New Found Glory. Combined with strong, powerful, catchy riffs and choruses that are insanely infectious, music lovers must prepare themselves for one hell of an entertainingly melodic ride! The Sophomore Year will not remain unsigned for long.
With ethics that include hard work, dedication and continuous touring, The Sophomore Year is a band that is aggressively moving up the musical ranks, determined to leave its mark on the industry.
