in
By Pete Richards (CHARTattack) October 23, 2009 2:13 pm
In case you haven't heard, Swollen Members are back. After Mad Child's battle with addiction, they've regrouped, sharpened the battle axe and are set to release their new album Armed To The Teeth later this month. Making a return is no easy task for the group, as they try to make up for lost time and redeem themselves of their past two albums,...

I Read The News Today... For May 24, 2011

The Rapture is coming. No, seriously. Oh, shit... Wait, you guys! We don't mean that Rapture! We mean the band. Someone tell Harold Camping they've got a new album out Sept. 6, so that when the apocalypse doesn't come again on Oct. 21, at least he has something to listen to while he's despairing that humanity didn't perish in a gigantic fireball....

Swollen Members' Madchild recently got an unpleasant surprise on the way to the United States to perform with the band. He says he was heading through customs at Vancouver International Airport when he was put into the waiting room for three hours before finally being called to the customs desk."When I was finally called up, the agent started...

Swollen Members' Mad Child Opens Up About His Addiction

in
By Pete Richards (CHARTattack) November 25, 2009 2:16 pm
As Swollen Members' Mad Child makes his return to the spotlight after battling a three-year addiction to painkillers, he's been forced to adapt to what he's missed while locked in isolation. He's still got a long way to go in his recovery since sobering up mere months ago, but remains enthusiastic about the comeback of Swollen Members. He was...

Swollen Members Return, Plan New Album

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) August 27, 2009 3:56 pm
Swollen Members will release their first album in three years, Armed To The Teeth, on Oct. 13 through Suburban Noize/E1. To say the last few years have been rough ones for the Members would be an understatement. MC Mad Child was "severely addicted to Oxycontin" and was taking over more than 20 80 milligram pills a day. He was also in a...

Can we get a missing persons report out on Swollen Members? Seriously, what the fuck happened to those guys? Everyone knows the rap game's pretty ruthlessly trendy, but those guys had like three gold records or something. Surely there's still a hundred kids in every two that would be as excited as fuck to see those dudes perform.

Swollen Members Return After Long Layoff

in
By Brian Pascual (CHARTattack) November 1, 2006 6:30 pm
Any Canadian hip-hop fan knows how hard it is for our country's artists in the genre to gain recognition south of the 49th parallel. So when a group like Swollen Members start making inroads, we should all take notice. "We have a new dream now," says Mad Child. "We're going to conquer the United States, and the hunger to do that...

SXSW 2006 Bonus Coverage: MaDM Plays With K-OS

By Karen Pace (CHARTattack) March 20, 2006 8:00 pm
With street signs and souvenir T-shirts proclaiming Austin, Texas to be the live music capital of the world, it's easy to believe during the annual South By Southwest Music Festival. Even without what is affectionately known as "South By," Austin plays host to more live music than most urban centres due to the sheer number of bars and...

Swollen Members And Project Wyze Go Flippin' Bananas on Remix

When last we heard from our buddies in Project Wyze, they were playing with Ozzy, hazing tour-mates Bif Naked and Swollen Members and generally causing a ruckus all across Western Canada. (If you haven't read our incredible Project Wyze tour diaries, we heartily recommend that you do so, even if you can't stand the band.) Well, it seems as...

Nelly Furtado Plays With Swollen Members

in
By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) April 22, 2002 5:30 pm
Nelly Furtado's greatest asset is also her greatest weakness. She's multi-talented, dynamic and hip in that same vaguely ethnic way that models get cast for Gap commercials are. She can also dance, sing, play guitar and rap. Unfortunately, the need to show off all the wonders that are Nelly end up being to her detriment. For Furtado's sold-...

"We didn't get screeched, but did I mention that we got hammered?" says Prevail, part of the Swollen Members crew and proud recipient of a new 2002 Juno Award for Best Rap Recording. And while there was no kissing of fishes going on during the music awards weekend in St. John's, Newfoundland, Prev was happy to report that a merry...
