In 1990 London's indie-rock guitar scene was developing a distinctive new psychedelic sound: swirling, dreamy, mysterious and very much of the British Isles. One band stood out by hot-wiring that sound with the subversive energy of some American bands of the era and that band was Swervedriver. They had the liquid distortion of shoegaze combined with the cool swagger of Hüsker Dü, Sonic Youth, and Dinosaur Jr - giving them a unique sound and attitude.

The band went on hiatus in 1998, but in 2013 everything was ratcheted up several notches when Swervedriver released its first single in 15 years, "Deep Wound." Spin Magazine called it a "warm, confidently roiling return" with Mojo adding "those same distorted pop sensibilities remain reassuringly intact" and the band debuted the song on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" in the States. Their fifth album “I Wasn't Born To Lose You” was released worldwide in March 2015.
