Soundtrack of New Years Day

Can’t believe Swervedriver’s tracks Duel or Blowin’ Cool (above) or Planes Over The Skyline or Never Lose That Feeling or the entire Mezcal Head were not mentioned in the 1001 Songs You Must Hear Before You Die or 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die books. Mezcal Head is an amazing album of some of the fiercest, you only get one life, coolest rock I’ve ever heard, yet I only know two other people in this city who know about it. I listened to a lot of good music from the early Nineties, last year and Swervedriver’s second album from 1993 was one of the best. Essential listening.
