Reel to Real (EP)

Reel to Real is the fourth EP release by English alternative rock band Swervedriver.

[1] The promotional EP features the song "Sandblasted" which was released as a single and included on the EP of the same name.

The EP also features a cover of The Velvet Underground song, "Jesus", written by Lou Reed and included on the band's self-titled 1969 album.

[2] Andy Kellman of Allmusic described the Velvet Underground cover as "a decent, drums-heavy version" and referred to the acoustic-driven track "Hands," as "another dandy in Swervedriver's arsenal of 'on a motorbike in the middle of nowhere' epics."

Kellman also argued that "'Scrawl and Scream' is a slower, slightly twangy version of Rave Down's 'Afterglow' with different lyrics" and deemed that "it's not as effective as its predecessor,"[2] while Joe Tangari of Pitchfork described it as "a wicked, steel guitar-soaked headrush.
