Swervedriver Reissues Set For January

Following a recent reunion and return to the stage, shoegazing vets Swervedriver have finally lined up a little reissue action. On January 6, the band will re-release their first three albums — Raise (1991), Mezcal Head (1993) and Ejector Seat Reservation (1995) — in North America, giving each some choice add-on features and new artistic presentation.

Courtesy of Second Motion/Hi Speed Soul Records, all three records will be digitally remastered, come as deluxe digipaks and feature new extensive liner notes penned by the band themselves. Also, just to put a little more ice on that cake, each LP will now sport a few added bonus tracks, most of which come in the from of various B-sides.

However, the downside to all this is that these reissues are limited edition and won’t be around forever. So if you want to scoop one up, you may want to circle that January 6 release date on your calender.
