I don't like them THAT much but they're definitely my favourite shoegaze band.

Though no band got progressively 'rubbisher' faster than Ride, oui?

It's interesting how they're considered shoegaze seeing as they rock so hard. Most shoegaze is sorta mid tempoed with lots of delay and effects etc. Swervies were unique to me in this way bc they had so much energy.

yeah, i think they got pigeonholed for being on Creation during that time...they have far more energy than yr average shoegaze band.
