Swervedriver

Swervedriver, oft overlooked for the group’s Creation Records peers My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive, always sounded like they had more of an affinity for America’s highways and alternative acts than the dreary, dreamy streets of England. Fittingly, then, the group returns to the States for a fall tour play their first two albums, Raise and Mezcal Head, in their entirety both containing odes to the open road and sky. Though the band is slated to perform their 1991 debut and 1993 follow-up in full, it’s fair to hold out hope that they’ll showcase new material; the band has been crowdfunding an effort to record and release a new album, their first since 2015’s comeback I Wasn’t Born To Lose You.
