Never Lose That Feeling is the fifth EP release by English alternative rock band Swervedriver. Produced by Swervedriver and Alan Moulder, the EP was released on 18 May 1992. The EP is the band's final release with the original lineup. The title track off the EP, which was included on the US edition of the band's second album Mezcal Head (1993), was released as a single in 1992, peaking at number 62 on UK Singles Chart.[1]
Background
[edit]After showing an interest for collaborating with the band,[2] engineer and producer Alan Moulder met the band at Greenhouse Studios, where the EP was recorded.[3] Following the recording, the band embarked a North American tour. Drummer Graham Bonnar left the band while touring. After the mixing and the release of the EP,[3] the band continued with the second leg of touring, which ended up with bassist Adi Vines departing the band.
Guitarist Jimmy Hartridge viewed the title track's riff as "a bit of a bridge between Raise and Mezcal Head in some ways."[3]
