No, Swervedriver is pretty much the same time as Nirvana. They began in 1989 and released Raise in 1991, Nirvana was founded in 1987 and released their first album Bleach in 1989. Furthermore, these guys were heavily influenced by American "alternative" rock of that era like (as you mentioned) Hüsker Dü, Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth. So, you can't really tag them as "pre-grunge" because Nevermind, Badmotorfinger, Ten were also released in 1991.
FYI Swervedriver is before Nirvana,and was around at the end of Huskurdu. So really, I'd put them ahead of their time alittle. They where pre-grunge... but I guess that was what punk and post punk is somewhat. Awesome..
