Swervedriver: Chrome Sweet Chrome
Paul Lester, Melody Maker, 1 December 1990
This year, Creation broke the mould and signed their very first kick-ass rock'n'roll animals – a hard-edged, bone-rattling death machine called SWERVEDRIVER. With their second EP, Ravedown, just released, PAUL LESTER meets the band and finds out how their obsession with car crashes is based on fact, not fantasy.
