Swervedriver's long-planned reunion will kick off at the Coachella Festival on April 27, followed by a US tour in May and June. Says singer Adam Franklin: "We've actually only had the one get-together at this point in a cheap studio in North London but it sounded surprisingly tight and together—and also more punk rock and unhinged than ever before somehow." Once again, where is that reissue of Raise? [Billboard]

And here I thought they'd broken up: the British outfit Swervedriver is embarking on a tour next spring, ending what their PR firm is referring to as a "10-year hiatus" and giving fans of huge, swirling guitars the chance to hear the big chords of "Rave Down" in a live setting. Here's hoping that this results in a proper reissue of Raise, which is currently going for $22.47 on Amazon—the kids today, especially the ones who are trying to get into that whole nu-gaze crap, need to at least have the option of snagging a legal copy of "Son Of Mustang Ford."
