a brief overview of home recordings made by a handful of friends throughout the late '90s usually onto a handheld tape recorder or microcassette.  we did later use a realistic dj mixer and two tape decks to achieve a way to overdub before moving away and moving onto four track cassette recorder and beyond, ... we all lived in dyersburg, tn and the surrounding areas.  we wrote and recorded songs almost anytime we played music and rarely if ever could reproduce them, but the recordings persisted thru time. we were very inspired by music that was lofi and 'homemade' specifically sebadoh/sentridoh, smog, guided by voices were instrumental in our development as purveyors of the d.i.y. aesthetic.  the novelty of it all at the time was very exciting and inspiring as we all quickly adopted this method of writing recording and sharing our newest 'songs' with one another which usually left us with a sense of awe and wonder even if u were the one who made the particular song in question.
i will try to add sum other projects as well that were seemingly overlooked on this particular compilation.  thanks to everyone involved (especially those who happened not to make the cover photo. sorry).  the title of this compilation, swerve 2 da burg, was conceived by chris berry and was adopted for the name of this compilation as any plans to produce such a release seemed to never materialize, ....
