乐队成员 Scott Stanton Davers Lang Chris Petersen Ghosty Boy Current Swell is a Canadian indie rock band from Victoria, British Columbia. To date, the band has released a total of five albums; So I Say, Trust Us Now, Protect Your Own, Long Time Ago, and Ulysses. Current Swell's roots lie on the west coast of Canada in Victoria, British Columbia, on Vancouver Island. The band's members consist of Scott Stanton, Dave Lang, Ghosty Boy and Chris Petersen. Originally a group of friends hanging out and making music, the band began performing in backyards and on beaches, and has gained popularity through the likes of its online presence and dedicated Internet fan base. The band has been noted for its authenticity and for remaining true to its upbeat folk roots. Current Swell sold out the very first show they played as a band. The band had released a short, five song ep on the internet that teenagers enrolled in a high school up island got a hold of. The band had booked a show at a local coffee shop in hopes of playing in front of two, or three people but ended up playing in front of a packed audience. The band credits much of their success to their fans, particularly the online community. Their song Young and Able (2009) became an Internet hit through its popularization on YouTube. The Internet has contributed significantly to the Canadian west coast band's large following in South America, particularly Brazil, where it headlined in Rio de Janeiro and S o Paulo in 2012. Current Swell has opened for bands like The Beach Boys, Xavier Rudd, Dispatch, Bedouin Soundclash and The Beautiful Girls, and has made appearances at the 2010 Winter Olympics and the Ottawa Blues Festival. In 2011, Current Swell placed first at Vancouver's Peak Performance Project, winning the $100,500 top prize. The band also played one the largest concerts of its kind in Victoria at a Canada Day concert for 45,000 people at the B.C. Legislature. The band's sound combines the musical styles of folk, rock, roots, blues, reggae, and ska. The band's sound has also been described as "surf rock." In 2014, it was announced that the band would be releasing their fourth studio album on May 6th, entitled Ulysses. The album was produced by Nathan Sabatino (Dr. Dog, White Rabbits) at Vancouver's Greenhouse Studios. (更多)
