Current Swell Tickets

They started out jamming on Bob Dylan tunes. Now, this dynamic Victoria, BC-based five-piece band leads the way when it comes to the new roots music pulsating on Canada's West Coast. Their initial surf/ska/reggae/rock sound has evolved to include a deeper blues/folk feel that's prominent on the group's latest album, Protect Your Own. They've been dubbed "Ben Harper meets Sublime" but when you get right down to it, the spirited jams they create are distinctly "swell."
