Swarm of Eyes Swag Featured on “Grapefruits of Metal”
Metal humor blog (yes, there is such a thing) Grapefruits of Metal returned from its long hiatus. The blog’s most recent post featured a photo of Swarm of Eyes fan Jack sporting some Swarm swag. The Swarm is making its way around the web!
Jack’s photo will also be featured in the upcoming Fan Photo Gallery on the Swarm of Eyes website. More than just a shameless shill for their merchandise, Swarm of Eyes wants to thank Swarmies for their support by showcasing fan-submitted pics with the band or rocking their favorite Swarm swag for posterity.
With the release of Designing the Dystopia only days away, get ready to send in those pics, Swarmies! We’d love to see ’em!
