Raymond Watts from Pig and KMFDM,some of Elastica,BJ Cole,Andy Cooke from Juttajaw and the Howard Marks Project and any other mates who were around at the time.go to www.thesickcity.com for a little country ditty we dd a few months back.the album should be done in a couple of months from now then expect a tour of the world (or as much of it as we can get to in a plane or tour bus!). Jim’s spending time at his country retreat with the family he didn’t see for months on end while we toured.Adam seems to be enjoying his Toshack thing – should’ve called it Bremner Lorrimer though – whaddayareckon Ad?Good “top 3” moniker????:):):)hope to see you all on tour again soon…thanks for the awesome support and love,…jez….xxx

Date: Fri Jun 16 16:42:42 2000 Name: kristy City/State/Country: New Orleans Louisiana USA Comment: I remeber the first time I seen SWD, (I think it was in ’98) when they played with HUM. I never heard of them before, but they surely did blow my mind away. As I walked into the club, with an altered state of mind, they were already playing. I just thought what is this and the rest of the show I was completely mesmorized. The next day they were playing in another town so I had to see them again, also along with HUM and that show was even more uplifting. Since then I have enjoyed SWD throughly and have had Godly experiences listening to them. So the question is: WHEN ARE THEY GOING ON TOUR AGAIN IN THE USA?

Date: Thu Jun 1 18:19:33 2000 Name: Erik… City/State/Country: Richmond, Va. USA Comment: I have been all around the world and Swervedriver has always been there with me. They are the sound of dreams, of life, of rediscovering what makes it all worthwhile…They rock me into a stupor, put my mind in the sky, and elevate my soul…Their music is as beautiful as it is savage. I have seen them live 6 times in 5 different states. I have been very fortunate to meet each band memeber(with the exception of Steve)…and have been even more fortunate to have been there with this band since the beginning. I will always remember the first time hearing “Son of Mustang Ford” in ’91, the first time I layed eyes on them in Norfolk, Va. as they began a blistering set with an incredible version of “Sandblasted”, discovering the Stooges/Mc5/T-Rex connection with the band, waking up in the middle of the night nearing “Lead me where you dare”, driving through the mountains in Germany listening to “Raise”, having it seem like I had been waiting my whole life for that moment, talking to Jez for 2 hours in D.C., seeing the Pacific ocean for the first time as “99th dream” blasted through my skull, meeting others who love the music as much as I, and knowing that the band is still there…moving on…”so far reaching”… Thank you for the music, and Thank you for “These Times”….j_nevada59@hotmail.com

I picked up “never lose that feeling” in there about two years ago. Failing that, try Echo in Byres Rd, they’re always good for a laugh. Don’t go to Fopp though, They’re shite now, I don’t think they’d know who the fuck the Swervies were if ye screamed it at them. There you go anyway, cheers.

I SHOULD PROBABLY BE QUITE WORRIED ABOUT THIS BUT SWERVEDRIVER HAVE GOT TO BE THE MOST UNDERATED BAND THIS COUNTRY HAS HAD THE HONOR OF PRODUCING. IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFO ABOUT WHERE I CAN GET OLD SINGLES LET ME KNOW. I WAS TOO SKINT FROM LISTENING TO RAISE AND SMOKING TOO MUCH BLAW WHEN THEY FIRST CAME OUT. IANF@MCCORMACKS-MUSIC.COM
Date: Tue May 16 23:19:50 2000 Name: Sundog City/State/Country: www.devildogs.com Comment: Finally! I can’t wait for Swervedriver to get back into the studio! Toshack Highway is an excellent CD (Just Landed being the coolest song on it..IMHO) Anyone know if Valentine Number One is a tribute to MBV, because it sure reminds me of a `toned down’ MBV. I saw Swervedriver in Chicago for their Raise Tour and their last time through for 99th Dream (The title track is excellent…which you all already know). They always sound great in concert and Duress live is amazing. The Bouncers were even turning around to watch them play when they heard that number! Someone get us some Swervie news soon!
Date: Tue May 16 16:52:47 2000 Name: thrashbox@hotmail.com City/State/Country: Bromsgrove UK Comment: swervedriver- the finest band this godforsaken country has ever produced. I first heard them on a Radio 1 live broadcast in late 1990 and have been a fan ever since. First saw them April 91 at Bescot (Wonder Stuff big day out). Dont stop guys I may be 36 now with wife, mortgage etc but I still believe in you Keep it real love Brian

Adam WAS with the band for Raise and has been with the band from the very beginning, dumb ass. And the comparison to Oasis is just downright fucked up. You obviously don’t have the slightest idea what you’re talking about.

Date: Fri May 12 10:22:04 2000 Name: kevin cleary City/State/Country: huntington, ny, usa Comment: The most amazing band of all time!!!!!! If anyone is into SWD in the LI NY area, write my email at dominnion@aol.com
Date: Fri May 12 09:30:51 2000 Name: Snail City/State/Country: Newcastle, Australia Comment: In 1991 two albums dominated the soundwaves thrown from the sound system in the basic spaces of my first year’s uni accommodation. The two albums were amazingly similar in not only the raw brilliance of the sounds, but in a “feeling”, mood and insight. The unique magic of Smashing Pumpkin’s “Gish” and (as you’ve probably guessed) Swervedriver’s “Raise” in my opinion have not and may probably not be ever heard again.(?) Other signs of almost fate – like similarity was on the following release of Swervedriver and the Pumpkins’ more commercially recieved albums. The bands apparent affinity confirmed in Swervedriver’s support of the Pumkins in a Siamese Dream tour of the States. A “siamese dream” indeed! I would love to know how this support of the Pumkin’s happened seeing Swervedriver are from a different continent and all. I wonder if either of the band came away from that tour with any influence on the other? Since the band’s second albums I think there has been a bit a a departure. Meanwhile, the Snail had been waiting for Swervedriver to make it on down. It wasn’t until the “Ejector Seat” tour that they finally rolled into Newcastle (the Palaise). Amongst songs from their two recent albums at that time, it was great to hear a good mix from all three alubums and singles. Though these guys in swervedriver have a feeling for music which lets them continue to create great sounds, I just wonder if they listen to themselves back in ’91 and realise how unique the sound was they set out exploring / experimenting with. I cant help but feel there is a sound out there, unresolved and waiting to be laid upon many grateful sets of ears. A sound like a driver’s view through a winscreen as the car winds around bends with views to the coastline in some cinema production. A sound like gusts of wind and lashing rain swaying long grass. A sound like sunsets, which still evokes vivd images in my mind and a stoke like going home all these years on.

SWEREVEDRIVER IS ONE BAND THAT WERE UNDERATED AND OVER LOOKED MUSIC RIGHT NOW IS IN A SHITTY STATE OF AFFAIRS , WHEN BANDS LIKE SWERVEDRIVER BECOME DERIVATIVE THAT DOESN’T SAY MUCH FOR THE STATE OF MUSIC IN GENERAL.

Date: Fri May 5 10:40:33 2000 Name: Shawn City/State/Country: Dallas, TX Comment: Toshack is an incredibly chilled-out album. I wish it contained more of Adam’s vocals, but this is necessary for all Swervedriver fans.
