Saturday at 5pm. Per Wikipedia:
Swervedriver are an English alternative rock band formed in Oxford in 1989...They had emerged with a heavier rock sound than their shoegaze contemporaries, and over the next five years it evolved to include elements of psychedelia, classic pop, and indie rock...Record label issues and waning interest within the group led to their split at the end of 1998. A decade later, Swervedriver reunited and toured periodically over the next five years, releasing their first new material in fifteen years with the 2013 single "Deep Wound". They have since released two full-length albums, I Wasn't Born to Lose You in 2015 and Future Ruins in 2019.
The band's sound has been labelled as shoegaze, alternative rock, dream pop, and grunge.
They've been around since 1989 and while I recognize the name I don't recall ever hearing any of their music. I guess they aren't in my wheelhouse. Let's see what they sound like.
This is "Deep Wound" live on KEXP. Has a Bob Mould/Hüsker Dü feel.
"Rave Down" is their most streamed song on Spotify.
This has a video with it. Reminds me of The Smithereens.
