Bio:
Sweet (also referred to as The Sweet) were a British rock band that rose to worldwide fame in the 1970s as a prominent glam rock act, with their most prolific line-up: lead vocalist Brian Connolly, bass player Steve Priest, guitarist Andy Scott, and drummer Mick Tucker.Sweet were formed in 1968 and achieved their first hit "Funny Funny" in 1971 after teaming up with songwriters Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman and record producer Phil Wainman. During 1971 and 1972, their musical style followed a marked progression from the Archies-like bubblegum style of "Funny Funny" to a Who-influenced hard rock style supplemented by a striking use of high-pitched backing vocals.The band achieved notable success in the UK charts, with thirteen Top 20 hits during the 1970s alone, with "Block Buster!" (1973) topping the chart, followed by three consecutive number two hits in "Hell Raiser" (1973), "The Ballroom Blitz" (1973) and "Teenage Rampage" (1974). The band turned to more Hard Rock style with their mid-career singles like 1974's "Turn It Down". Their first self-written and produced single, "Fox on the Run" (1975), also reached number two on the UK charts. These results were topped in West Germany and other countries on the European mainland, where the band was very popular.The Sweet had their last Top 10 hit in 1978 with "Love Is Like Oxygen". Connolly left the group in 1979 to start a solo career and the remaining members continued as a threesome until disbanding in 1981.From the mid-1980s, Scott, Connolly and Priest each played with their own versions of Sweet at different times. Connolly died in 1997 and Tucker in 2002. The two surviving members are still active in their respective versions of the band; Scott's is based in the United Kingdom and Priest's in the United States.
Album:
Metalville Records will reissue next Friday the long time out of print SWEET album “The Answer”, remastered and with bonus tracks.Originally released in 1992 as “A”, the album was later re-released in 1995 re-titled “The Answer”, including extra tracks. This fresh 2026 release adds 3 bonus tracks.For this record, SWEET leader Andy Scott assembled a stellar line-up: Mal McNulty (Slade) on lead vocals, Bodo Schopf (Eloy / MSG) on drums, and talented Steve Mann (MSG / Lionheart) on keyboards, guitar, vocals.The album combines timeless melodic hard rock with metal influences while remaining unmistakably SWEET. Steve Mann also co-produced and engineered, so expect a vibrant punchy sound.An unjustly overlooked highlight, “The Answer” should be heard by all late ’80s / early ’90s Melodic Hard Rock fans (specially McAuley Schenker Group), a record plenty of sharp riffs, classy keyboards, and catchy, layered choruses. Now finally available again on CD and vinyl.
