Challenge Swound!

Hey challengers! We thought it was time to update you all on the current state of Challenge Swound!.

Out of over 1000 challenges we've been set, we've attemped and filmed more than I can count, to varying amounts of success. Some we've completed, some we've failed and some have been downright embarrassing. The whole process took over our lives for a short while as our journey even took us on a 16 hour round trip to Loch Ness in search of the Monster (which seemingly doesn't exist, by the way). Lloyd got whiplash from moshing for 30 minutes, we nearly killed ourselves by running a half marathon and playing a show straight after, Westwood pimped our ride and we even staged a fake alien invasion for the benefit of local newspapers. It's all been a lot of fun, despite the pain and frustration that's been involved.

Unfortunately we couldn't keep this up forever. Being in a band also involves writing songs and playing gigs (who'd have known?). 2010 is going to be an important year for us. We'll finish writing our second album, play a shedload of shows and no doubt get involved in other stupid things that we've decided would be fun. So we've decided that it's a good time to put Challenge Swound! to bed. The website and all the challenges will stay online as we are very proud of all the stupid videos we put together. I hope that people carry on enjoying them.

Even though we aren't taking any more challenge submissions we are still allowing people to download our album.. completely free. To do this just click the link at the top of the page. I hope you enjoy it and feel free to pass the link or our songs on to all of your friends.

Having said all this, make sure you keep an eye on the site as we are going to finish this off in style, by choosing a handful of our favourite challenges and giving them one last go! Follow us on Twitter to get more information when it comes in - http://www.twitter.com/swound.

Love from Swound!
