BIO With MadChild now free from his addiction to pain killers and having exorcised all his demons, he has returned to Swollen Members with a vengeance to record their seventh studio album Dagger Mouth. From the powerful production of Rob The Viking to the dark poetic abstract expressionism of Madchild and Prevail, Dagger Mouth is a return to the classic Swollen Members sound by harnessing the groups savage and chaotic energy into one focused and commanding effort.
Over the course of their decade long career, Swollen Members has managed to develop some of the most electrifying hip-hop chemistry. From the release of their debut album Balance in 1999, Swollen Members captivated the underground
hip-hop world with live shows that
took the raw explosive energy of
rock music and powered it with the
groups jaw dropping lyrical
abilities. The groups universal
appeal caught the attention of both
underground and mainstream
audiences and while earning
accolades, as well as Juno Awards
(the Canadian version of a Grammy),
and Video awards.
Swollen Members had developed such
a powerful fanbase they were touring
the world opening for everyone from
Black Eyed Peas to Tech N9ne and
collaborating with the likes of
Nelly Furtado, Everlast, and Chali
2na (Jurassic 5).
The past few years have taught me
a lot about myself and my music,
closes MadChild. Swollen Members
success has taken us around the
world and while Im thankful for
all weve accomplished, Ive learned
that everything is secondary
to making good music.
