Swervedriver don't even need to do the pledge thing, (though it's a cool thing) there loads of Swervedriver fans out there! Loads! Your great music will never fall into a vacuum. There' will always be an audience for these guys. TOP band!

Swerve have outlived most of the hype which came in between, they have straddled a perfect balance of popularity amongst people who have half a clue. I am as excited about this band now as I was when I first heard Raise for the first time. I always liked Jim's playing. I wish somebody would do a gear tour of these guys!!

I am a 70 year old rocker and this is my all time favorite band. Then Hendrix.

I love this band!

When my old mate showed me an album cover "He asked me what I thought and I read it as Swerved River lol!

Hey Jimmy (if you see this), Super Furry Animals did Fuzzy Logic and Radiator albums back to back about a year ago, which was equally as fantastic as Raise and Mezcal Head last night in London. Thanks for everything, guys.

I love this band. I actually did meet them here in Austin-possibly around this time; some years ago-but after a show here in Austin Texas, out on 6th street in front of the venue. Unfortunately, I had rather imbibed during the show-which a Swervedriver show is a visceral full-body sonic experience. My memory really ends by around the second or third song of the performance (mickey, perhaps?) but I do know that a group of us were out in the street afterwards with Adam and possibly Jimmy and/or others, and I just have little fragments of memories of Adam's face being kind of a mixture of concern and disgust-I don't remember anything we may have said or did-and I don't remember anything of the rest of the night, but at the time I rather put them on a sort of rock/shoegaze pedestal, and I was snot-slingingly drunk enough to pretty much ruin the whole night and my chance to meet and to make any sort of impression on these scene veterans-just great writers and performers- was pretty much drowned in my drunkenness and whatever may have wound up happening. I do like scrabble though.

With regard to confusing bands, where I live, more people have heard of Bullet for my Valentine than My Bloody Valentine. When I mention the latter, I always have to say, "not to be confused with" the former. When I say that, 98% of the time, the reaction is, "Oh, OK, then I don't know who you're talking about." It's something you get used to. Thankfully, being in South Texas, very few people (probably five, none of whom are natives) would call themselves fans of Skrewdriver; whereas, Swervies had a very good show at Paper Tiger.

@@dombizkit8410 I know who they are, and what their path has been--well enough for liking their music, anyway, and the rest is their business. So do their fans, and that's all that matters. More people in the U.S. should've, too, if you ask me. Where I live, lots of "alternative"--in the marketing sense, not the original sense--bands with maybe one or two good songs got more than their share of airplay, and can still get that airplay on 90s flashback shows and such. What were their names? I honestly don't remember, and who cares, anyway? Swervedriver was better than most of them, and deserved better than what they got. Whether they wanted it is another matter entirely, of course, but they could've and should've gotten it--pure and simple. That was the story of the alternative--in the original sense, not the marketing sense. Real heroes too often were, are, and always will be made to step aside for superheroes (and yeah, that was a reference to their songs). I was glad they came to San Antonio, glad I got to see them locally, and glad they put on a show worth seeing. That was time I got to share with them in this life and this space, and I enjoyed it. Relative obscurity, decades of elapsed time--these are irrelevant, if the music is good.

Note: interviewing position is not the greatest. You shouldn’t have your back to your guest. Both guys should have been sat next to each other. Makes for awkwardness with the guys you’re not talking to. No hate, just a constructive comment.
