New Swears do it for the kids this holiday season
Ottawa’s New Swears are better known for their catchy garage rock and crazy partying on and off the stage than for helping out their community, but this holiday season the boys are giving back and it isn’t even court-ordered!
New Swears have just released two previously unheard songs called “Illuminati Knights” and “Happy Birthday” on their bandcamp website with all proceeds going to local organizations For Pivot’s Sake and Girls + Skate 613. Both of these worthy causes seek to provide access to skateboarding opportunities for the youth of Ottawa through product donations, mentorship, program enrollments, and more. Have a listen to the track below and help support these two great initatives that do a lot in the nation’s capital.
And if that wasn’t enough, staff from the local skateboard shop Birling will be hosting a raffle at the New Swears New Years Eve bash taking place at the 27 Club on December 31. Birling co-owner Adam Wawrzynczak says the raffle will have “juicy prizes” and of course all proceeds will be going to For Pivot’s Sake and Girls + Skate 613. “This charitable aspect of a New Years Eve party is sure to warm your heart and may even soften the blow of a violent hangover to take you into 2018,” added Adam.
Two cool tracks for two great causes and even more giving as you ring in the new year. Well done New Swears.
