Swell is one of the most amazing and innovative bands I have ever heard. I own all their CD's (unless there is some import I haven't spotted) and listen to them nearly every day. I don't see how they are nnot on the top of the charts right now because frankly, they are fantastic. I swear, the first time I listened fo them, I was obsessed. And you will be too (unless you already are). When my dad picked up FOR ALL THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE, I wasn't expecting much, knowing about the new drummer. But I found that I couldn't get it out of my head! I was humming TODAY for hours on end in school. And don't get me wrong, FOR ALL THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE is not SWELL's only good CD. WELL? is great, TOO MANY DAYS WITHOUT THINKING is another good one. SWELL is a great band. I greatly encourage you to check them out.

in a perfect world, swell would be #1 pushing more units off the racks then mcdonalds pushes burgers. but it's not a perfect world and, you know what? i like the fact that they are one of the best kept secrets around.

"off in my head" is circus music and gives me some serious chills. same with "something to do" and with "blackmilk." who can't enjoy the dark humor of the lines "you're black as milk and milk ain't black / i love your mind / i'm being kind / this stupid thing is wasting all my time."

it's all in the name-> swell is swell.
