Following their critically acclaimed 2023 debut “Who Do They Think They Are?” Sweat return with renewed swagger, soul, and Hard-Rocking ambition on latest single “Hilary.” Blending British Prog Rock influences, ’70s Glamour, and electrifying radio-ready hooks, the track showcases a band carving out a sound that is unmistakably their own.
“‘Hilary’ lands in the sweet spot between glittering glam rock and late-’70s power pop,” explains the band. “It’s a loud tribute to the friendships that become lifelines and the people who stay when things get messy, heavy, and uncomfortable — the ones who always show up when it matters most.”
After leaving her hometown of Basel, Switzerland in search of authentic vintage Rock, vocalist and organist Sue Pedrazzi found her place in Pittsburgh alongside Steel City favourites Richard Stanley (Rich the Band), Dan Hernandez (Limousine Beach, Cruces), and Kayla Schureman (Century III). Together, the quartet have created a sound rooted in Classic Rock’s greatest traditions while confidently pushing into new territory.
“In Dreams” marks a defining new chapter for Sweat. Drawing inspiration from the towering sounds of Deep Purple, the driving force of The Who, and the emotional intensity of Heart, the band embrace their influences while forging a path of their own among the next generation of Rock artists.
Recorded with Nate Campisi at Mr. Smalls Recording Studio in Millvale, PA in September 2024, “In Dreams” captures a band fully embracing their identity. Across ten tracks, Sweat explore themes of female empowerment, longing, self-discovery, and the strange beauty of everyday moments — from quiet reflection to killing time at the convenience store.
Moving effortlessly between Heavy Prog Rock passages and Melodic Pop sensibilities, “In Dreams” is a record that feels both timeless and immediate — a bold statement from a band hitting their stride. It is released digitally on 25th September via Tee Pee Records.
