Histori
Swell root is currently located on Canada's west coast in Victoria, British Columbia, on Vancouver Island. The band members consisted of Scott Stanton, Dave Lang, Louis Sadava, and Chris Petersen. In 2006 Swell is currently bringing their band to Matthew James for production. During the recording, Matthew James could not work with their drummer and brought his Chris Patterson studio drummer Chris Peterson, and together they rewrote the drums. Matthew James then rearranged bass and musical parts for the album "Trust Us Now", adding organ, piano, and guitar riffs that launched the first career and contract for distribution. Initially a group of friends gathered and made music, the band began performing in the backyard and on the beach, and has gained popularity through people such as online presence and dedicated Internet fan base. The band has been noted for its authenticity and to remain true to its vibrant roots.
