SWEAT: WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE? By Jim Allford

 SWEAT is one very indifferent band hailing from Pittsburgh. Pa. Their musical taste ranges from the sounds of vintage rock to folk. I'd like to mention this is an American Swiss band which is quite unique in its own right.

The band members are: SUE PEDRAZZI-Lead vocals, organ; RICHARD STANLEY-Guitar, vocals; DAN HERMANDER-Bass and KAYLA SCHUREMAN-Drums, vocals. This 10 CD was Recorded by Nate Campisi and Mastered by Carl Saff.

LAMENT is a great intro to the band as the song runs less than a minute and goes directly in the song titled, ERRORS. The song has a Deep Purple feel to it and the vocals remind me a bit of Patty Smyth. The lead guitar will blow you  away.

JANE is progressive rock song that has reflections of The Moody Blues and Heart combined. This song is in your face with the guitar riff loud and proud. This song is a must to hear. DARK HORSES [WHITE LIES] slows things down a bit as the main chorus will be in your head. Suddenly, they switch gears and you hear a Rolling Stone riff and many other riffs which you might recognize. The melody , definitely, sounds quite familiar.

RUNNING AROUND is a true blue rock and roll song that is tight as ever and with a great progressive break and a lead solo that is straight up rock and roll in your face. INTO THE LAKE ends this CD in a strange way. You have to hear it yourself. Please check out this band and remember their name. If you like Heart, The Who, Deep Purple and The Moody Blues, you'll love this band. SWEAT! You can find them in Bandcamp, Facebook, You tube and Instagram.  ROCK ON,  JIM ALLFORD [www.steelnotesmagazine.com
