Current Swell

Vancouver Island based band Current Swell is 4 guys on a mission. Scott Stanton, Davers Lang, Ghosty, and Chris Petersen (And recurring guest, Kiltlifter Dave) have a unique style of music that is deeply rooted in folk and blues, reggae inspired, and rock driven.  The musical recipe is equal parts prairie and coastal, blending a couple of acoustic guitars, a lap slide, harmonica, drums, bass, and 3 vocal mics.  This formula amounts to a tightly polished act and is pushing the boundary of what people know as "new" music.

Current Swell has seen massive independent success.  The release of So I Say in 2005 gained the group the instant momentum they needed to become one of the hottest new acts in British Columbia. The boys eventually found time between tours to lay down their next batch of songs, and in June 2007 Trust Us Now was released.  Just one year later they went back to work in the studio and their 3rd album, Protect Your Own, released in February of 2009.
