SWEAT is fresh to the field, forming in early 2022 with members from ConArt, The Psychotic Reactions, & Happenings.
This Walyalup based quartet of sport loving punks are renowned for their tongue-in-cheek and energetic earworms. Their songs about sport, kebabs and bowls clubs are pleasantly paired with a high energy krautrock rhythm section with screaming nu-wave style guitar, all fronted by Rosemary, the future queen of sport fashion.
The band has supported acts such as Vintage Crop, Cosmic Psychos, Gaffer, Clamm, and The Black Lips and have played local festivals like WAM Fest, Way Way West, RTR’s Winter Music Festival & Hidden Treasures.
SWEAT released their Debut EP in June 22’ with it earning RTR FM’s Feature Album along with two places in the stations top 100 that year. To finish off a big year in 2023, they released a second EP titled ‘Blood n Tears’, with lead single "Bowls Club" taking the airwaves by storm, receiving spins on Triple J & RTR FM, and even earning a WAM (West Australia Music) nomination—a testament to the overflowing support from fans, industry and fellow musicians.
SWEAT continue to create and release dolewave garage bangers, with 2024 looking at multiple single releases, a state tour, and the drop of their debut album.
“Like dolewave but more energetic and fun, can't wait to hear more from SWEAT.” – Luka Muller (Triple J)
“Full of energy and fight, powering through a set of raw, punk-ish numbers that recall equal parts Bikini Kill and Elastica” – Michael Hollick (X Press Mag)
“Short, to the point, and packs a punch! SWEAT know what they are doing, and do it very very well.” – Ash McGregor (Triple J)
Hell yeah SWEAT are back! Always crafting hot, sweaty and filthy singalongs - I'm such a fan!
