Artist History Swellings exist since 1994.After some time-wasting fluctuations in the line-up, the band's members didn't change since the middle of '96. Merging New Wave, Punk and infective Morbid-Pop, the music never looses itself to perfection. The guitar's distorted sound ("to make your brain really crack") combinedwith the beat of a Rickenbacker bass and Maxwin drums is far away from mainstream-pop.
