Says Jono : Some of you may have seen everything getting posted about my brother, Nick's new band Strange Hawks. Things seem to be getting way out of hand. Why? Because not only is the band NOT REAL, [...]

The Swellers Pack On the Nostalgia The Swellers' fourth album Good For Me makes a splash in the punk rock genre, providing fans with a new take on nostalgia. The follow up to their earlier Ups and Downsizing is proving to be quite a hit with fans even though the band veered towards a slower pace.
