went straight in at number 5 on the UK rock chart, and has been described by Kerrang as &#8220;An album fit to stand alongside the very best of British rock bands&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Keep Swinging&#8221; is a positive and uplifiting song about just keeping on, living your life as best you can, because you never know what&#8217;s going to happen &#8211; &#8220;life is a mystery&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Blitz Kids, formed in 2009, currently comprises Joe James (vocals), Jono Yates (on guitar and backing vocals), Nic Montgomery on bass (also backing vocals), and Matt Freer on drums.\u00a0 They&#8217;re off to the SXSW Festival in Austin Texas later this month (18-21 March) as part of the promotion of &#8220;The Good Youth&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Keep Swinging&#8221;
