Raise is the debut studio album by English alternative rock band Swervedriver. It was released on 30 September 1991 by Creation Records.[2] The album contained six new songs; "Son of Mustang Ford", "Rave Down" and "Sandblasted" had all appeared on earlier EPs and singles released by the band between 1990 and 1991. The album received very positive reviews.

Early pressings of the UK LP came with a free 7", which included the instrumental tracks "Surf Twang" (a 4-track version of "Last Train to Satansville") and "Deep Twang" (a 4-track version of "Deep Seat").[3] The album was reissued as a remastered and expanded edition with four bonus tracks in 2008 by Sony BMG in the United Kingdom and in 2009 by Hi-Speed Soul and Second Motion Records in the United States.
