i stumbled across this band when i was very young. to this day, they still make the hairs on my neck leap off my body. i got Mezcal Head from the Belfast Music Library cos the cover looked interesting. 2 songs in i connected them to a TDK90 tape i was given by a mate a few years earlier. it had this song on it & no inlay card. jus 'son of mustang ford' scribbled on a label. i will never not own albums by this band.
Great... i'm more into grind and death, but these bands are one of my roots (Ride, Boo Radleys, Swervedriver, Slowdive, Telescopes...). I'm 46 now and i still love this song.
On a Swervedriver bings right now reliving the old magic and just got a HEMDALE patch in the mail yesterday. Serendipitous internet happenstance right there.
Thanks to the guy who commented on deftones’ be quiet and drive away video for the suggestion of this song. Without knowing this song’s and band’s existence, I would have not discovered a gem.
"There's kids on the corner, wanna beat-box my brains to bits" 6-7 years before this was released, I was one of those kids! Then I got into my 20's as an introspective shoegazer type - as one does - and found the heaviness of Swervedriver was the right sound for me. Still love them in my 50's.
Just put me neck out headbanging in the kitchen listening to this. For a few minutes there I was back in the Planet X in Liverpool in 1991, but for the next few days I'll be a 52 year old nursing a sore neck and wondering where the last 30 years went. What a song.
Great band. Saw them live twice in the 90’s. Even more powerful live. Perfect mash between Stooges, Monstermagnet and British twee indie pop. Absolutely brilliant band.
A band with it´s own signature. I don´t want to know what happened "afterwards". It´s powerful / talented and really broke through my heart of steel in the nineties. And I have a lot of swedish friends who feel the same way.
First song I heard by them on the Chart Show in 1990. The guitars are heavy as shit but also super psych and interesting. I'd certainly never heard anything like it at the time. The song is still immense. Get something /hear something new each time I hear it. And I've heard it a lot over 30 years. Adam, if u need a drummer for a tour, I'm in
I'm ashamed to learn of these guys 30 years too late yet I have always loved English rock bands.Amazing, they are like the My Vitriol of the 90s more cred to Brit rock ,like it needed any more😉
These guys passed me by back in the day, only time they were on my radar was when the supported The Wonderstuff at Bescot, grunge before we were into grunge, shoulda known when the real cool kids were wearing their t-shits
I’ve been a fan since ‘92 and never knew this video existed. It’s a terrible video for such an amazing song. I don’t think their record label understood them at all. Their songs capture that restless feeling of ‘there’s got to be more to life… so let’s go find it.’ It’s such a youthful sound that’s so easy to kind of get lost in. Like getting in your car and just driving to nowhere, losing yourself and finding yourself at the same time.
When you listen to current shoegaze bands it's the same thing as listening to this. This band is very influential even though few people know it... crazy.
THE most underrated band of the 90’s. Period.
💯 % agree
Brazilian fan here. Yes it is.
So much better than so many around at the time.
So many great songs too, deep seat being my favourite.
They're not so underrated, in fact they were recognised as pioneers of Shoegaze back in the 90s

I can hear how Swervedriver and Hum had a massive role in the Deftones' sound
So true!
The Deftones are shit though
u mad? nowadays they make top-tier metal-influenced shoegaze. you clrearly have no taste : )
Yeah, they should do a cover...
Helmet too.
J'ai eu la chance de voir Swervedriver en concert au début des 90's, un de mes meilleurs concerts dans ma vie❤

Hard to believe this is nearly 30 years old...just does not age...Awesome

one of the unsung bands of the creation label
+Marc Hector great band, but came from wheatley, horrible inbred village, A.Slater liked young boys
Even after all these years, this is still one of my all-time favourite tracks ❤
2:52 is one of the GREATEST riffs I’ve ever heard in my life. It’s literally like being in a victorious dream!
Sonic Youth/Dinosaur Jr-esque
Bring back the 90s.
OUR BAND OWES ITS EXISTENCE TO THESE CATS
There are so many people that say they like rock music but have never heard of Swervedriver or this song.
Oh the shame.
I love the music this band made.
Still to this day, its pure genius, words...................
Such a beautiful song and riff
I'm not banging my head, i'm nodding with eyes closed! Damn i miss the 90's bands 👍😎

raise is a top 10 album 4 life
Absolutely.
The old atmosphere is still in me.. Swervedriver 90´th guitar rawness... Things ain't black or white like they seem
great song.. i often put this song on repeat while doing my daily run
I fukin love this song.....90's rocked!!!
ageless. period

Wow puede que esta banda sea una de las más grandes influencias para Chino Moreno
Oh I miss the 90s

Best song ever
this song
great gig at Primavera. Thanks guys
Kin tune, 27 years old.......no way where does time go, used to hammer this song back in the day.
love it than and now and tomorrow timeless!
I'm ashamed to learn of these guys 30 years too late yet I have always loved English rock bands.Amazing, they are like the My Vitriol of the 90s more cred to Brit rock ,like it needed any more😉
Can't beat the older indie / rock stuff. Glad I was there. Music these days is not like then, apart from Warpaint in my eyes
Check out DIIV or Wild Nothing
I'm so glad I got to see these guys live in their prime
I have Alex R for introducing me to them, glad he did. I adore the guitars in this :)
Swervedriver... THANK YOU for this brilliant record RAISE !
Always takes me back to some nights in the 90's ...
(From Brazil)
Como passei os anos 90 sem conhecer esta banda ?... Muito boa...
This song gives me the “you’re a young man with dreams who got drafted into the army to fight for your country in the war” vibes, and I love it
These guys passed me by back in the day, only time they were on my radar was when the supported The Wonderstuff at Bescot, grunge before we were into grunge, shoulda known when the real cool kids were wearing their t-shits
So many bands copied this sound and compositions. 😮😮😮😮😮😮
What a fucking band! Just discovered few days ago!
+Walrus81 great band from a shit village , Wheatley, inbred locals ......
+19331937100 ahah and so is mine...
+Walrus81 Nice. I met the singer once.
you actually discovered this two years ago
Fucc I discovered it when I was a kid playing road rash.
I can't stop listening to it! Simply is an amazin song. They remind me Gs Megaphone. xD
- Yes!!

A chicken pecks but it rarely regrets and if it tends to regret it's certainly not because it pecked.
