Beskrivning
In 1990 London's indie-rock scene was developing a distinctive new psychedelic sound: swirling, dreamy, mysterious & very much of the UK. One band stood out by hot-wiring that sound with the subversive energy of some American bands of the era & that band was Swervedriver. They had the liquid distortion of shoegaze combined with the cool swagger of Hüsker Dü, Sonic Youth & Dinosaur Jr giving them a unique sound & attitude.
Debuting with a series of landmark Creation Records EPs, their full-length debut, Raise, to this day is hailed by Pitchfork as an LP full of "muscular, scorching guitars" that "still bring the noise like nobody's business" with Mojo stating "Son of Mustang Ford remains one of the most glorious tunes to emerge in the wake of the so-called grunge explosion of 89."
The toured extensively, including a lengthy US tour with Soundgarden that brought their wall of sound to thousands. In 92 they set about recording a 2nd full-length LP Mezcal Head, which included their biggest singles Duel & Last Train To Satansville.
In 2013 everything ratcheted up several notches when Swervedriver released its 1st single in 15yrs, Deep Wound. Spin called it a "warm, confidently roiling return" with Mojo adding "those same distorted pop sensibilities remain reassuringly intact." The band debuted the song on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
The 5th LP 'I Wasn't Born To Lose You' out March 2015.
