SWEET CRISIS is an English rock band that formed in Cambridge in 2013.
Sweet Crisis features a core trio of talented musicians: Centering around vocalist/rhythm guitarist Leo Robarts, with Piers Mortimer on lead guitar and piano, and Dave Cullen on drums. In the studio the band also use session player Peter Martin on bass. All of the band’s songs are written by Robarts and Mortimer.
The band’s influences include Free, Jack White, The Rolling Stones, The Black Keys and Led Zeppelin.
They also draw inspiration from such diverse sources as Pink Floyd and vintage soul music.
“We love those old records by Free, the Stones and Humble Pie…” Says Robarts.
The band’s debut single ‘Fight About Nothing’ is an edgy slab of classic rock (produced by Simon Efemey — The Wildhearts/Orson and Napalm Death) and is out now.
We had a listen:
This has a blue belly groove.
And a boogie rhythm that rattles through your inner chambers.
The vocals (they are reminiscent of Robert Plant) are wide open and smiling.
This song is dirty… sodden with vital fluids, sweat-stains and tears of sorrow. The guitar runs like molasses through open veins.
This is smoking hot and dangerously polluted… A smog ball of roll-back rock.
Regret nothing, keep movin’ on…
