Caught the last two songs from Gateway Drugs. The final tune was a snarling cover of the 60s psych-pop nugget Psychotic Reaction.
I had some Swervedriver on vinyl, which gives you an idea of the timing of this British band. They took a ten year hiatus and re-emerged with the same dual guitar, bass and drums sonic attack. Sludge and fuzz guitars are central to the SD sound. Without any true hits, SD marched through some old and new songs. The regular SD bass player was absent, with the bassist from Supergrass as a fill in. The drummer was a big fella who played in perpetual motion and anchored the sonic assault.
