Bolts of Melody (2007) more music like this

by Adam Franklin

On Bolts of Melody, his first album under his own name, former Swervedriver head man Adam Franklin leaves behind the electronic leanings of post-Swerve project Toshack Highway and revisits his former band's sprawling, guitar-heavy sound. Anyone who misses the hooky guitar overload that was Swervedriver at their best will jump for joy upon hearing ...

Mezcal Head (1993) more music like this

by Swervedriver

There are cruising records, and then there are speeding records; Mezcal Head is definitely one of the latter. Solid, dense as marble, and frighteningly well executed, Swervedriver's second album is a non-abrasive rock & roll record of the highest order. Polishing the sound of Raise and improving the songcraft to match the band's previous sense of ...

99th Dream (1998) more music like this

by Swervedriver

If the debacles surrounding the release of 1995's magical Ejector Seat Reservation weren't enough, the process of getting this fine follow-up to the public likely gave Swervedriver enough headaches to outnumber their effects pedals. 99th Dream was set to be launched on Geffen in early 1997, with advance copies sent to press and radio. Not to be ...

Raise (1991) more music like this

by Swervedriver

A molten hybrid of Daydream Nation-era Sonic Youth, the drill-press rhythms of the Stooges, and early Dinosaur Jr., Raise sounds like a record made by young record shop rats from the Midwest. Adding to this notion is the lyrical fascination with cars. With this in mind, it's no small wonder that the Oxford, London-based Swervedriver found a home ...

Never Lose That Feeling (1992) more music like this

by Swervedriver

The Never Lose that Feeling EP is pretty much obsolete for those who own A&M's Reel to Real promo EP, as it also contains "Scrawl and Scream" and "Hands." Also included is "Never Lose That Feeling/Never Learn," lifted from Mezcal Head, as well as the single version of the title track. Andy Kellman, All Music Guide

Last Day on Earth (1995) more music like this

by Swervedriver

Swervedriver's 1995 single "Last Day on Earth" served as a taster for the band's upcoming epic Ejector Seat Reservation album. "Last Day on Earth" and "I Am Superman" are both highlights of that record. "Last Day on Earth" is a sweeping, majestic song that conjures up images of Phil Lynott fronting the Byrds with Martin Carr producing; "I Am ...

Sandblasted (1991) more music like this

by Swervedriver

The quality control with Swervedriver was all but unparalleled, and there was no need for any "third time is a charm" nonsense with their early singles. Sandblasted again offers three great B-sides from the band: "Flawed," "Out," and the scorched "Laze it Up," which boasts some nasty, digging, non-flashy guitar riffs from guitarists Adam Franklin ...

Rave Down (1991) more music like this

by Swervedriver

Rave Down is the second of three spectacular pre-Raise singles from Oxford's Swervedriver. As with just about any of the band's singles, the B-sides are anything but afterthoughts or gap fillers, rivaling and occasionally topping material found on the respective full-length album. The bulldozing, bass-driven, Dinosaur Jr.-meets-Stooges onslaught ...
