RAISE AT 35 - OUT NOW

Hello all,

Thirty-five years ago this week we put out our first album, and now Raise is back!

The 35th anniversary edition is out now on Sony. The original album has been remastered, and there's a second disc of extras: the B-sides from the Son of Mustang Ford, Rave Down and Sandblasted EPs, plus "Surf Twang" and "Deep Twang" from the limited 7".

It's out on 2LP Neon Swirl and Blue Skies colour vinyl, on CD, and digitally on all the usual platforms.

The press has already started. Vive Le Rock gave it 8/10 with a two-page feature (that issue is in shops on Monday), and there's a new interview about the album over at Under the Radar.

We're playing Raise in full on our UK and Ireland tour later this month, ending in Belfast (4 Nov) and Dublin (5 Nov). The second London night has already sold out, and other shows are close behind, so don't leave it too late.

There's more to come. raise:demos, the original rehearsal tapes we made before the album, is out on 23 October on Outer Battery Records.

Thanks for sticking with us all these years.

The Swervies
