Swollen Members is a four-time JUNO Award-winning Canadian hip hop group from Vancouver, British Columbia, consisting mainly of Madchild and Prevail.

[1] Swollen Members was founded in 1995 by Vancouverites Madchild (Shane Bunting), Prevail (Kiley Hendriks), and Moka Only (Daniel Denton).

Having begun a solo career while living in San Francisco, California, Madchild returned to Vancouver to work.

[2] 2002's Monsters In the Closet, their third release, brought official group membership for Moka Only and Rob The Viking to Swollen Members.

Monsters in the Closet was a collection of B-sides and outtakes along with three new songs, "Breathe" which featured Portuguese Canadian pop singer, Nelly Furtado.

It is understood that Madchild and Prevail made an attempt to return to their previously critically acclaimed style and method.

Featured artists on the album include La Coka Nostra, Talib Kweli, Tech N9ne, Tre Nyce, and a return of Moka Only on the previously released track, "Red Dragon".

Swollen Members scheduled the release of a studio album, Dagger Mouth, for April 2011, under Suburban Noize.
