Background notes
Archive material and source history
Swervedriver formed in Oxford in the late 1980s with Adam Franklin on vocals and guitar, Jimmy Hartridge on guitar, Adi Vines on bass, and Graham Bonnar on drums. Their first album, 'Raise,' came out in 1991 and got some attention for its mix of shoegaze textures and heavier guitar work.
A few years later, the song 'Duel' from their 1994 album '99th Dream' became a staple on alternative radio.
The band went on hiatus around 1998 but started playing together again in 2008 with Franklin, Hartridge, and Vines. They've put out a couple of albums since then, including 'I Wasn't Born to Lose You' in 2015 and 'Future Ruins' in 2019.
