“Imagine a world where bedraggled glam-bangers like the New York Dolls, Hanoi Rocks and the Quireboys stayed young and skinny and good looking forever. That’s the Sweet Things.”- CLASSIC ROCK (UK), May 2018

Formed off an impromptu jam session and fondness of Lynyrd Skynyrd, THE SWEET THINGS quickly developed an underground buzz with the release of two independently released singles backed by airplay on NYC’s FM rock station Q104.3 and Sirius XM’s Little Steven’s Underground Garage. The rowdy rockers smeared clubs of NYC with their rip-roaring live performance before taking the party on the road to venues across all the coasts of the U.S.

Upon their return to their beloved hometown of NYC, THE SWEET THINGS headed into the studio with producer Matt Chiaravalle (Courtney Love, Debbie Harry) to record their full-length debut and enlisted the help of friends such as Alejandro Escovedo on guest vocals; the legendary horn section The Uptown Horns (Rolling Stones, James Brown); Brian Hurd of beloved blues bashers Daddy Long Legs on harmonica; Rob Clores (The Black Crowes) on keyboards; and boogie chanteuse Liza Colby on the gospel vocals.
