Here at The Way Out, we're still basking in the warm glow of Slowdive's brilliant return earlier this year. And then this week, Swervedriver announced that they'd be touring the U.S. (including a stop in our very own Madison, WI) and releasing a new album next year, their first since 1998. That was Monday. Then, on Tuesday, the really big news hit: rumor started circulating online that Ride would be reforming in 2015. Within a day, the rumor was confirmed as true, and Ride announced 9 shows next May and June, including only two North American appearances in New York and Toronto. In honor of all this much-welcome news, we decided to dedicate this week's show entirely to the Creation Records label - the home to Ride, Swervedriver, Slowdive, and so many other great 1980s and 1990s U.K. shoegaze and indie-pop bands.
