From the Fueled By Ramen record label that brought you Jimmy Eat World, Panic! At The Disco, The Academy Is…, and Gym Class Heroes, comes Flint’s number one export, a punk-pop quartet featuring Nick Diener (lead vocals and guitar), Johnathan Diener (drums and backing vocals), Ryan Collins (guitar), and Anto Boros (bass and backing vocals). Commanding attention in the music scene since the release of their third album, My Everest, in 2007, The Swellers have really peaked this time with their fourth album, Ups and Downsizing. Absolutepunk.net calls Ups and Downsizing The Swellers’ real Everest, raving, "It just might be the perfect balance of melodic and pop punk since [Green Day’s] Dookie.” Indeed, Nick Diener’s lead vocals ride superbly atop Ups and Downsizing’s guitar-rich anthems. The Swellers, who have been on the road constantly since March of 2008, touring with the likes of Paramore and Less than Jake, will be in Grand Rapids on January 25. They’ll be playing at The Intersection, along with Set Your Goals, This Providence, and Motion City Soundtrack. Tickets are $20. Doors open at 6 p. m. Music starts at 6:30 p. m.
