“JAKEB SMITH gets to talk to SWERVEDRIVER frontman, soloist and celebrity collaborator ADAM FRANKLIN, which is quite brilliant really.
The post-post-punk period is an odd one in musical history. In 1984 the musicians who had thrived in London and New York’s art scenes were finding the sense of liberalism that had fostered their creativity for the last six years rapidly disappearing. Corporate culture was validating its place in the social consciousness with its own fashion and morals, each as equally seasonal as the each other.”
