Anyone involved in the formation/evolution of the great band Swervedriver deserves a tip of the hat, and if dead, condolences to the family and friends remaining.

Rod Poole, friend of Shake Appeal, the band that transmorgified into Swervedriver.
Close, but not in the band really.
But, what the h-ll? The people almost run him over, then when he complains, they stab him?
Absolutely mental.

Rod Poole wanted to be in Swervedriver, but other band members didn't like him.
Shake Appeal was crappy...

I always assumed it was Peri or Rysie doing the 'funny'. Is it not?
I just spotted this post.
I have nothing to do with this guy Mr. Rabbit. Rysie doesn't either. I swear.

I didn't think it was you. You're not funny in ANY way. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that your posts make me weep (out of the browner).

That's kind of what I've been going for all along.
So, mission accomplished I guess.

an excellent pop band. strong melodies, nice chord structures, genius guitar textures.
one of the most underrated bands i can think of.
anyone heard Adam Franklin's rendition of Wolf Parade's "Shine a Light"?
i thought it was a crap song before hearing his version.
so Not Crap it hurts.

"Rave Down" popped up on shuffle this AM, when I was riding the subway at 6:30 AM and it was cloudy, looking like it would storm any second.
Perfect.
Not fucking crap.

Okay kids...caught the reunion show at Metro last night...
kinda dissapointed but still not quite sure what I think.
There were a few moments, in a few songs, where they seemed plugged in to the moment.
Other times, they just kinda came off like a bored, sloppy jam band.
Songs good, sure. Adam Franklin still has a great voice that cuts through everything live.
Still...fuck, man...
Life ans Times were good though.
