LA Record Interviews Swervedriver

Swervedriver (United Kingdom) Swervedriver will be reuniting for their first show in 10 years at Coachella this weekend. The reunion has been picked up by a few of the faithful but it seems like LA Record hit the jackpot by posting an exclusive interview with vocalist/guitarist Adam Franklin. Head over to LARecord.com to check it out. [MP3] Swervedriver - Last Train To Satansville What do you think of the idea that Swervedriver didn’t sell records because everyone who liked you was in the industry and getting them for free anyway? I haven’t heard that one! That’s sort of the same story for every band. In some ways, Swervedriver could be seen as a musician’s band. But I think it’s a myth when people say Swervedriver were the unluckiest band in the world. I think there are plenty less fortunate. Everything we recorded did get released eventually—plenty of bands did records and the label said ‘not good enough, more vocals, less guitar,’ or there were bands that had people standing over their shoulders telling them how to mix. We never had anything like that. And it’s not like there’s a hidden album we can’t get released.
