Years of nonstop touring and music industry blunders lead to embracing their free-agent status and the self-release of Running Out Of Places To Go in late 2012. The 5-song EP was recorded mostly in Nick’s house with help from a few friends and was a therapeutic release after a year of trial and error.
Longing for the family environment of like-minded bands and support staff that actually appreciate and get their music, The Swellers took up No Sleep Records’ president Chris Hansen’s long standing offer to join the label, which has become one of the scene’s most revered labels in the last several years and home to some of punk, post-punk, hardcore, singer-songwriter and metal’s most forward-sounding bands around.
They have recently released their new album The Light Under Closed Doors.
