Behind The Boards – Episode November 15, 2024

Program: Behind The Boards

Length: 90 minutes

In what is (in essence) the 4th episode focusing on Rob the Viking, we align with the current "Swollen Resurgence" (Bury the Hatchet National Tour) and travel back in time to revisit the Swollen Members Discography in chronological order. It was great to take a trip down memory lane since, as I mentioned, "I've forgotten more about Swollen than most people will ever know". This episode documents the second hour of my interview with Rob and he very graciously allowed me to revisit every album and gave insight on various favorite tracks, and shared interesting fun facts and behind the scenes info on how the songs came together. I got to ask questions I've been wanting to ask for more than 20 years! Swollen Members have almost 25 years of quality output under their belt - they're Canadian Legends! I have a feeling they're not quite done yet (as a group, definitely not with solo & side projects). As Rob put it - each album is like a diary of what life was like at the time. I hope this story keeps unfolding, and being documented through the eyes of Rob the Viking, Prevail, Madchild, and even Moka Only! Enjoy! Language Warning!
