“Swallows is an alternative band out of Minnesota that has invoked what people are calling 'rock and roll, ugly and beautiful, profane and spiritual.' This quartet brings a blend of classic blues, a barrage of eclectic instruments, and warm yet gritty Nick Cave vocals.” - David Buchanan, Consequence of Sound

Swallows' line-up features the collaborations of Jeff Crandall, Aaron Kerr, Tyson Allison and Frank Spencer.
