Keith welcomes Adam Franklin to the show and we discuss growing up in Oxford UK, discovering the local music scene, Adam's early songwriting process, early influence from MC5 and how that inspired his early band Shake Appeal, the end of Shake Appeal and the formation of Swervedriver. We also discuss Swervedriver's early history, their Peel Session recording, the making of their classic 1993 LP "Mezcal Head", label troubles and the shifting music scene that led to their hiatus in 1998, Adam's solo ventures Toshack Highway and Adam Franklin and Bolts of Melody, the 2008 Swervedriver reunion, their recent 35th anniversary tour for their debut LP "Raise" and more.
