SWERVEDRIVER released only four albums; but this one, their first, is still my favourite. They are often labeled as a shoegaze band but i've always thought they sounded more like American style indie / college rock. Their debut
RAISE however is an album that does have some songs on it that could be described as shoegaze. For example
Rave Down and
Lead Me Where You Dare. But on the other hand, songs like
Son Of Mustang Ford and
Sci-Flyer remind me more of bands like
Sugar and the
Pixies.
Ah well, who cares. This is one of those great classics of the alternative 90's. Been looking for a vinyl edition a long time already, so i was extremely happy to find this copy at Copenhagen's
Sound Station some time ago.
