Current Swell

Current Swell is a roots rock band from British Columbia that pioneered the new roots music push that came out Canada's west coast in the late 2000s. Gaining recognition as a surf rock band, Current Swell has evolved its sound into a bluesy brand of roots rock since it formed in 2006 as a rock and roll act. The five-sometimes six-piece band's roots music is exemplified on its 2009 album, Protect Your Own.
