In early 1994 the album’s second single, “Last Train to Satansville”, was released. Critics and fans alike were drawn to Hindmarsh’s deeper, harder-hitting drumming and Franklin’s stream-of-consciousness narrative, describing it as “the height of alt-rock badassery … with a monster guitar riff and chunky rhythm” and a “menacing spaghetti western bite.” The single, along with “Duel”, would be featured with songs from other A&M artists in the video game Road Rash for the 3DO system. Meanwhile, the group continued touring with fellow Creation act Medicine in Europe, Australia, and Japan. Later that year Swervedriver would put out their first single with George on bass, the “limited edition export series, deleted on day of release” 8-track recording, “My Zephyr”, on boutique label The Flower Shop.
