Swervedriver - Mezcal Head (Extended Edition) [1/20]

Artist:

Swervedriver

Description:

Swervedriver: Adam Franklin (vocals, guitar); Jimmy Hartridge (guitar); Jez (drums).
Additional personnel: Stewart Dace (saxophone).
Generally considered to be Swervedriver`s masterpiece, 1993`s MEZCAL HEAD finds the British shoegazer act in fighting form, proving that not all acts associated with the style were more concerned with mood than muscle. In fact, it`s no surprise that frontman Adam Franklin and the lads were sent on tour with bands such as Soundgarden and Smashing Pumpkins around the time of this album`s release, since Swervedriver could dish out guitar-fueled rock with the best of them, as evinced on the hard-charging "Duel" and the fiery "Blowin` Cool." Though the ensemble never broke through to wider recognition, Swervedriver is well represented by MEZCAL HEAD, an underrated early `90s alt-rock classic.
