The best part about the unexpected success of Faceless Kings and the song charting is that it forced us to stop and realize we owe it to the legacy do something. We owe it to the fans who have rode with us for us for years. 🙏
So I think we all heard you guys loud and clear from the response to the new single Triple Aces. You guys want to see Swollen Members reunite and go on tour, and then write a new record? That pretty much sums up everything, right? 🤣
Words cannot express our gratitude... Faceless Kings is now

!!!! The Swollen Army made this possible. THANK YOU 🙏 Time to celebrate a victory with all of you!
Someone at the label dug up an older folder full of unreleased Swollen tracks. Rob created some fire beats, Prev verses are insane, and the energy on these tracks is high. We'll drop the cover art tomorrow and the first new track drops this Friday.
It feels like a Swollen Members resurgence is upon us. The response to Triple Aces has been nothing short of incredible... We cannot thank you enough for continuing to rock with us for all these years 🙏
Crazy to think 14 years ago we officially dropped "Armed To The Teeth", our first release under Suburban Noize Records. This record changed everything.
New Swollen Members song "Subhuman" drops this Friday. The last song went to

on iTunes, so do you think this one could battle for hip-hop supremacy...
Still riding an enormous high from seeing Faceless Kings hit

Pulling these tracks out of the vault offered us some creative freedom to attack with no inhibitions about appealing to the masses. We weren't worried about what the single would be or what songs could work as videos. We were able to just do what we do without any pressure.
🚨 NEW SWOLLEN ALERT🚨 Faceless Kings is officially out on Youtube early. Produced by Stylust Beats and Rob the Viking, this one brings back the clever wordplay and cinematic beats, but together they transport you to another world.
Congratulations to our brother

Honoured and blessed to have Spotify give us a This Is Swollen Members playlist on the platform. It means a lot that our catalog of music is worthy of inclusion in Spotify's Best Of compilation playlists.
Excited to finally announce our very first live record LIVE AT THE FOX THEATRE and the tour dates for our Family Reunion Tour across Canada in September/October on !!!
🥊 Happy Boxing Day🥊 Make sure you take a second to appreciate all that you have and lend a helping hand to anyone that might be struggling during the holiday season.
All I can be is transparent with you guys... Faceless Kings is much more than a single to me and it's got me a little emotional. Things needed to be said. This is the truth about Swollen Members...

Triple Aces was just a warning shot... Tune in tomorrow at 12 Noon as we start to unleash the next single from the vaults. This one is gonna hit you in the way only classic Swollen can.
Stoked to hear that "Triple Aces" is on the iTunes Hip-Hop charts🤘Crazy to think after almost 4-years of no new music, you guys still rabidly Support Swollen🙏 If you can afford to download the single it's cheaper than a cup of coffee and shows that real hip-hop still matters
The new single "Subhuman" is out now! This one has that dark
classic Swollen sound. If you have an extra dollar and want to Support Swollen please pick this up on iTunes and let's get this one on the charts.
Faceless Kings gets back to the dark sinister sounding hip-hop that only Swollen can do. This track sounds like it could have fit on Dagger Mouth or Black Magic.
How many of you owned one of these games back in the day and heard
@swollenmembers
as the soundtrack? How dope would it be if Call of Duty, Fortnite, or one of the new Madden games added Swollen?
HOLY $#*T Faceless Kings is currently

on the iTunes Hip-Hop single charts! THANK YOU 🙏
to everyone that has made that possible. If you haven't downloaded Faceless Kings on iTunes it will cost you less than a cup of coffee. Support Swollen and let's take that

spot!
Lawn Mower Man has officially surpassed 1 million views on Youtube 🙏 Remember to pre-order the vinyl version of Lawn Mower Man at your local shop on April 20th for Record Store Day before it sells out!
The second single from the vaults is called "Faceless Kings" and this is my personal favourite of these new tracks. The song officially drops this Friday, but maybe maybe we'll drop it early like we did the last one.
Nice pistol mine is chrome
Where'd I get this wrist full of shiny stones
By writin these live hooks rhymes and poems
Swollen is back to reclaim the throne
HOLY $#*T! Faceless Kings is currently
#14
on the iTunes Hip-Hop single charts! Crazy to think that this song is charting that high and beating out Macklemore, G-Eazy, Flo Rida and Wiz Khalifa. To everyone that bought this single and supported it on iTunes or Amazon THANK YOU 🙏
Madchild and Rob The Viking teamed up to flip this old Sweatshop Union joint into the new single "Times Change" that dropped today. If you ever wanted to apologize to someone then this one's for you. LISTEN NOW:
"Tetris" is finally dropping THIS FRIDAY! This record was previously never available on streaming services and you've been asking for it forever - Ask and you shall receive!!
We can FINALLY announce that Swollen Members "Ten Years of Turmoil Greatest Hits" is coming out on 2-LP vinyl in record stores on July 17th as part of Record Store Day!!! For more info, head to

Here is the alternate cover art that Jason Hutton Graphic Design designed for Faceless Kings. Pulling these tracks out of the vault there was a lot of back and forth on what the visual would be. This was dope, but felt the cover art needed match the dark tone of the song.
💀New single Homicide is out now!!! We're about to launch a massive Canadian tour soon, so let us know what cities you want to see us play!!! We're getting ready for a major announcement shortly and stoked to let everyone know our plans for 2018!...
