Swervedriver To Play 'Raise' In Full For First Time Ever On Aus Tour

Staff Writer

The band are back with a special show.

More Swervedriver Swervedriver Profile

Indie rock legends Swervedriver blew minds with their most recent return to Australia a couple of years back, resolutely proving that they still possess the live power and finesse that have made them one of the most underrated but cult-adored indie rock bands in history after a long time in the wilderness.

The band come back to Australia to do it all again in September and October of this year, but this tour will be particularly special as they play their 1991 LP Raise in its entirety for the first time ever on these dates.

The debut LP, released on Creation Records, was a more than solid starting point for the band, showing the band's adept ability to mix walls of guitar noise with infectiously hooky pop melody lines.

As well as performing the 22-year-old LP in its entirety, the band will play a second set of highlights from throughout their career.

Dates are below and tickets are available from Wednesday 12 June.
