You gotta love a band that’s nailing original rock ‘n’ roll in a climate where many think that that genre-grave has already been dug. Seattle band Sweet Water’s combination of nostalgia, craftsmanship, and infectious energy proves a complete resurrection. Their alt-rock style merges chill vibes with energetic punch, with the vocals carrying a distinctive Bono-like quality. On “State of Grace” they open with some delicious old-school finger-picking that immediately draws you in. The band’s sound is versatile, equally suited for a Scott Pilgrim-esque soundtrack or a backyard BBQ. They show genuine promise for reinvigorating modern rock with songs that linger in memory.
