when compared to all other "shoegaze" bands these guys are well n truly not really "shoegaze" - too much rockin, too much riffin, too many change ups, and just too fuckin good.
-
I still love this band after all these years!!!!!!
-
- One of the first indications of the shoegaze sound, or any genre of music for that matter, are the instruments used and how they're used to create that sound. Typically, shoegaze used electric guitars with heavy distortion and chorus effects. Swervedriver's sound and style uses distortion, chorus, wah, volume pedal etc., at various intervals and measures within a song...combine several styles of guitar playing all weaved into a tapestry - They're sound is distinctly 'Swervedriver'.

@ajarnfrankie I agree.
-
@AsmodelSoljah They do shoegaze but this really isn't that. Compare to songs like Slowdive's Alison, The Chamleons UK's Perfume Garden or The Daysleepers' anything.
This is more grunge with shoegaze influence like Lush's Ladykiller is new wave punk with shoegaze influence.

Good old 90's x) no that I'm that old.. but I AM a 90's kid...

I have never actually HEARD Swervedriver prior to this. People think this ISN'T shoegaze?
People are dumb.
-
I remember buying this when it came out :)
-
- People who consider SWD as shoe gaze just don't have a clue about music.
