They've been away for so long, but alt-rockers Swervedriver are making up for their absence with the addition of even more reunion tour dates, including a run of shows at the end of May with Film School. However, the current list of Swervedriver dates still doesn't quite match the original promise of a full-blown world tour, so let's hope the band has a few shows still stuck in its flannel sleeves.

A related note: The self-titled debut EP from Magnetic Morning-- Swervedriver frontman Adam Franklin's new project with Interpol drummer Sam Fogarino-- comes out via DH Records April 19, aka Record Store Day (as you know). To celebrate the release and the new holiday, Fogarino will DJ at NYC's Other Music on the same date.

Film School have their own hefty U.S. tour to play before they meet up with Swervedriver, including a bunch of dates with British Sea Power and a gig at Brooklyn's Death by Audio, recently profiled on Pitchfork.tv.
