The Swellers – “The Light Under Closed Doors”
Covered already in the Torch’s interview with drummer Jonathan Diener, respected punk veterans The Swellers plan to release “The Light Under Closed Doors” on Oct. 29. Billed as a “back to basics” of sorts, the album looks to be chock full of rollicking, stripped down punk. Well-received singles “Becoming Self Aware” and “Should” certainly point in that direction.
