Swervedriver: Classic or Dud?

The question has been raised. Let's dispel all the rabblerousers & get to the truth (which is, of course, that Swervedriver doesn't deserve to be lumped in with those other crap bands / movements from the UK).

― David Raposa, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (sixteen years ago) Permalink

Someone on another thread called Swervedriver "the best rock band of the `90's. While I think said statement is completely, utterly and indefensibly devoid of anything even remotely resembling merit and/or credibility, it should be noted that Swervedriver's first record, RAISE, did feature two riotously rockin' tracks, namely "Sci-Flyer" and "Son of Mustang Ford" (the former amping up a decidedly Creedence-esque riff ala "Run Through the Jungle"/"Suzie Q").

Lead singer Adam Franklin's pursuing a solo career now, if I'm not mistaken.

― alex in nyc, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (sixteen years ago) Permalink

I completely and utterly stand by my meritless and credibility-free statement. And if you want depth, compare the nine b-sides from their first three singles to the nine songs on Raise. The b-sides are just as excellent as the album proper.

― Andy, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (sixteen years ago) Permalink

Raise was great. I will confess to having not heard anything else by Swervedriver, so I can't say if they were great beyond that first album.

― Nicole, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (sixteen years ago) Permalink

They were a bit up and down after _Raise_, but much more up than down, so I think. _Mezcal Head_ and _99th Dream_ are both worth seeking out. Franklin's solo thing is Toshack Highway, and very enjoyable it is, but Swervedriver itself is still around, if on hiatus. A friend pointed out a *very* worthy link to me off the main unofficial fan web page, namely excerpts from the tour stories written by their drummer Jez. Hilarious writing, take a look see:

For chrissakes will you lot PLEASE stop trying to rehabilitate the dregs of early 90s shoegazing. it wasn't a whole lot of fun at the time but picking these woeful musical scabs is a singularly depressing exercise in futility. catherine wheel & swervedriver in one day! whoever next - revolver?

― cw, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (sixteen years ago) Permalink

Eh, Revolver had only the one or two good songs. Good taste in covering Strawberry Switchblade, though.

Anyway, what's so wrong about talking about shoegaze? What would you prefer we talk about?

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (sixteen years ago) Permalink

Shoegazing was all things good. I will forget shoegazing when I forget the Alamo and the Maine.

― Nitsuh, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (sixteen years ago) Permalink

I like Raise (that was the LP w/ 'Mustang Ford', right?). It's pretty strong - always holds up well, as I recall, though not quite as well as the first Slowdive LP which I have on the other side of that tape, which I exhume once a year.

People who say 'Stop talking about dregs of shoegazing' should look forward to me posting on their threads and telling them to stop talking about their favourite piles of crap.

― the pinefox, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (sixteen years ago) Permalink

sorry, i'll leave you to play with your own poo.

― cw, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (sixteen years ago) Permalink

For chrissakes, how can you thoughtlessly throw a group like Swervedriver in with the shoegazing posse when the ruckus they raise is so propulsive and abrasive (in that nice & shiny pop fashion)? Their haze is the result of waves of lovely, gritty feedback, not from sleepy strumming.

― David Raposa, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (sixteen years ago) Permalink

Not all shoegazing was about sleepy strumming. Clearly, you have forgotten that all shoegazing comes from MBV who were one of the loudest rock bands in history.

I quite liked Swervedriver, even though I shockingly only have 2 of their albums- Raise and erm, 99th Dream, I think? I do have to give them props because they were one of the only good bands in the history of forever to bother playing in Albany, NY, while I was living there. And they brought Medicine with them, to boot!

Now there is a critically underrated band if I ever heard one...

Shoegazing threads, hooray!

― masonic boom, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (sixteen years ago) Permalink

Yes, hooray.

― the pinefox, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (sixteen years ago) Permalink

The albums are a little spotty, but some of the tracks are classic. I bought these guys cause I was listening to shoegazing at the time, but they didn't then and don't now sound anything like shoegazing, especially post Raise. Mescal Head = almost really good.

SEEK: For Seeking Heat, Duel, Blowin' Cool, Last Train to Satansville, You Find It Everywhere, Mustang Ford

EXTRA SEEK: The Other Jesus

― Blake, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (sixteen years ago) Permalink

Classic: Raise- Mezcal Head- Ejector Seat Res.

Dud:- 99th Dream

Definitely one of the better bands of the 90's

― Cash Lone, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (sixteen years ago) Permalink

Oh, _99th Dream_ isn't a dud. A bit tame, yes, but a bit more cohesive than _Ejector Seat Reservation_. Though I like _EJS_ more - "The Other Jesus", "Last Day on Earth", "The Birds". However, some of the songs get a bit too ... strange? ("I Am Superman" - sha la la la la la la la???!? Is a super-duper rock band actually using "sha la la"? The Bacharach quote in the title track is a nice touch, though.)

I keep on hoping for more pulp-fiction-like stories, a la "Last Train to Satansville". Never happened, though. And I still don't know what to make of _Toshack Highway_ (Adam Franklin's solo joint).

― David Raposa, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (sixteen years ago) Permalink

Which Ned actually mentioned up there. D'oh-eth!

― David Raposa, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (sixteen years ago) Permalink

i like the birds very much, but the rest of it sounds like there is a 47,000 pound weight on top of the music as it comes out of the speakers. lethargic.

― keith, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (sixteen years ago) Permalink

four years pass...

I picked up Juggernaut Rides and I just have to state for the record that "Duel" is objectively 62% more awesome than I originally remember it being.

I especially love how you think it's going one way and then it, er, shifts gears into another song and then back again. Bonus points for the chiming major-key guitar riff in between the synth-wobbles and "I'm going down, down to the marketplace..."

Oh, and the answer to the eternal "shoegazer or not?" question is no. They're closer to guys like Sundial or even the Bevis Frond.

One last thing before I get some lunch... Videos for "Duel" and "Rave Down"

― LOL Thomas (Chris Barrus), Friday, 21 April 2006 20:36 (eleven years ago) Permalink

Classic first three EP's, with some other great b-sides as well. Classic albums include Raise and Mezcal Head. Is more better than worse, Ejector Seat Reservation and more worse than good 99th Dream. Truthfully I like almost everything they put out, were cool live expect the last time I saw them (out of about six) as it was at the Whiskey A Go Go and had to be a reason why they were dropped (Alan was there).

First album would be even classier ,if re produced/remastered or whatever those boffins do.

The rest weren't bad either.

Search 'Duel', 'The Birds' - and loads of other stuff

When I was so obsessed with all those Septic bands - you know the ones- the NME and Melody Maker had these down as some GAZE band. Wrong.And I fell for it

Remember being at Reading, Festering in about , many years ago shunning this great band.

They were on the main stage. My trendy , snobby friends and myself- even worse -turned away, muttering 'fucking shoegazing shit' to go and watch probably somebody pointless like Heavy Stereo or Adorable in the tent.
I remember walking away thinking' What a great riff - what a tune' I can still picture the ugly dreadlocked, long haired pedal fixated tossers, flailing on the mainstage. Should have stayed. Peer pressure

― Fer Ark, Saturday, 8 March 2008 02:00 (nine years ago) Permalink

Son Of Mustang Ford rules. There was some free tape with one of the music papers that had a great demo version of that song, I played that all the time when I was 16.

Duel is just a great rock song. Propulsive. Their songs tend to drag on a bit longer than I'd like at times, though.

― wateryDomestic, Sunday, 9 March 2008 01:53 (nine years ago) Permalink

I'm glad to hear there's so much love here for the first album! I'm kinda surprised, actually. I've still got my autographed vinyl copy. I think I'll dig that out.

― Bimble, Sunday, 9 March 2008 05:43 (nine years ago) Permalink

Hmm. The first side isn't as good as the second, methinks. "Sci-Flyer" sounds suspiciously like Ride's "Seagull" in the riff department.

― Bimble, Sunday, 9 March 2008 06:36 (nine years ago) Permalink

I saw Swervedriver and Adorable on the same bill! Though Swervedriver + Chapterhouse was a better combo. Happy days. I thought "Rave Down" was their best song.

― Mark C, Monday, 10 March 2008 12:24 (nine years ago) Permalink

I saw Swervedriver open for Ned's Atomic Dustbin. Odd double bill to be sure.

quite possibly.

so much more than your standard shoegaze noise.

i have the original cds, and avoided the remastered editions upon release.

seems to be that they have toured the US a lot more than the UK since they started up again.

― mark e, Thursday, 20 November 2014 19:45 (two years ago) Permalink

Yeah they definitely always had a strong following over here. Good thing too! Of all the original first wave bands they were probably the ones that stuck through the 'tour often enough and something will happen' cycle the best.

No UK dates again?
wtf?
Great band; One of my favourite homegrown groups, who I nearly missed thanks to shitty journalists tying them into the shoegaze scene (which I didn't hate, but...) -cos they liked effects pedals and they came out of Oxford, seemingly .
They had some real high spots. Then just sort of faded away. I haven't played their last album much at all
I quite like some of Adam Franklin's solo stuff, mind.

first listen done.
bloody hell, i did not expect that.
the album sounds like the band have continued after 99th dream and made another album.
i expected a clean, polished modern sound, but no, they have made the same mix of dirty guitar noise, fuzz, excess, and hum friendly tunes.
ok, it will never ever surpass 'ejector seat .. ',
as nothing ever will in my world, but as an album to come back with after a long extended break, this really is a brilliant continuation of the bands groove.

― Free Me's Electric Trumpet (Moodles), Saturday, 7 March 2015 00:10 (two years ago) Permalink

I'm loving it.

Little things ,like the imaginative bass line in the opener , tasty chord progressions on so on.
The overall feel is still lost on the 'highway'(interstate) with an everlasting yearning for something that's always over the everlasting, dusty, horizon.
I say 'highway' rather than road as they are lost somewhere near Topeka , Kansas rather than the A40 near Didcot

I even hear 'gas stations' in the opener.

Fine by me. They take me out there with them

Hoping to see them in York, mind.

Curious what made them the weakest shoegaze band live, back then. Saw them in St Paul a couple nights ago and, wow, so much sensory delight, despite a very modest presentation relative to recent MBV or Slowdive. The music's saturation with melodic, ear- and brain-warming detail was never fuller, in any other band.
