About Me |
|
| Swervedriver was formed in Britain in 1990 by vocalists/guitarists Adam Franklin and Jimmy Hartridge, bassist Adi Vines, and drummer Graham Bonnar. Fusing swirling textures with the more traditional boundaries of rock, the group debuted with a series of brilliant EPs -- Son of Mustang Ford, Rave Down, and Sandblasted -- before issuing their full-length debut, Raise, in 1991. After a U.S. tour in support of Soundgarden, Bonnar left the band, followed quickly by the departure of Vines; 1992's Never Lose That Feeling EP, their strongest effort to date, initially appeared to mark the group's swan song. But in 1993, Swervedriver returned; with the core of Franklin and Hartridge rounded out by new drummer Jez Hindmarsh and bass player Steve George, they released their sophomore LP Mezcal Head. An import-only release, Ejector Seat Reservation, followed in 1995; in the fall of 1998, Swervedriver resurfaced with their fourth effort, 99th Dream.
In late 2005 a two-disc retrospective "Juggernaut Rides" was released on Castle Music. The collection included rare b-sides and demos from the band plus classic songs Duress, Son of Mustang Ford, Rave Down and more. This release is available in record stores and on Amazon.com . In 2008 Swervedriver reunited for a short tour of the States with Adam Franklin on vocals and guitars, Jimmy Hartridge on guitar, Steve George on bass and Jez Hindmarsh on drums.
