Here's a video focused on the Occupy Wall Street protest by Brooklyn's The Sweet Ones , a band that in this particular song sounds like The Clash would have if were they were born in Nashville. Their music is definitely appropriate for this kind of footage, not to mention the title of the song, "Kids at the Bottom". - (as posted in The Deli's Open Blog - post your band's entries, videos, and Mp3s here ). The Deli's [...]
Filed under: Video of the Day Artist: The Sweet Ones Video: 'Carburetor' Highlight: "'Carburetor' is based on the premise that the world needs more people taking positive action aka 'Carburetors,'" Doug Cote, singer/guitarist for the Sweet Ones tells Spinner. "At times, our day jobs tend to take us away from this. At times, your job beats you down. Sometimes while I'm working I feel like I'm getting beat up. So this video is really a shout out to all of us [...]
Just last week I bought a filthy bit of garage pop from The Sweet Ones, but this new track from their album Big Mistakes , which is out now, shows a little bit of a softer side. Well, there's definitely a bit of sloppiness, but it's intentional; it gives the power-pop just enough to make you appreciate their grittiness. Surely you'll find yourselves falling for this band as I have, at least I hope so. Download: The Sweet Ones - Kids at the Bottom [MP3]
Psychedelic, indie, Americana, blues; these are just words that you could attempt to describe the music of The Sweet Ones yet you still wouldn't fully know how great this band is without taking a listen. Known for their intense live shows, The Sweet Ones are ready to rock your face off with their upcoming residency at GoodBye Blue Monday starting September 29th (see full dates below). Before you head to Brooklyn to see the trio with the...
Sometimes you find yourself in a little bit of a rut, at least in regards to your listening patterns. I guess lately I've felt like I need something to sort of kick out the jams a bit. Lucky for me I found this rocking record from The Sweet Ones in my inbox. Their record is titled Big Mistakes , and you can pick it up now. It's a solid little rocking album, filled with sing-a-long barroom brawlers in the vein of garage rock, just a bit filthier. Cleaner production [...]
Sign sign everywhere a sign. Gone is the decorum of war protests and calls of can't we all just get along. "27 Club" from Abstract Artimus "Typhoon" from Crooked Fingers "Haluan sinut" from Regina [...]
The Sweet Ones are a Brooklyn based trio known for their loose style of Rock-and-Roll and unpredictable live show. Influenced by bands like The Minutemen and Modern Lovers and starting out in the DIY house show circuit of the East Coast, The Sweet Ones have given their sound a name: "JUNK ROCK," which is a DIY, fend-for-yourself experimental mash-up of thrown away and underground styles.

As a younger music fan, I just needed fast guitars, maybe some shouting and a good melody. Nowadays, I find myself attached to all sorts of sounds (you can't rule anything out these days), which is why I've been enjoying this track from The Sweet Ones . At first, it sorts of comes off like an oddball Modest Mouse, but the more I listen to it, the use of horns doesn't seem like excess, so I tend to align these guys with more of a Rock Plaza Central feel-just with a bit more pop. Make [...]

Ryan (StopMe) : I've just finished reading Bryan Talbot's engrossing 'Alice In Sunderland' (Nice how it syncs up in part's with Channel 4's unmissable current drama about the English Civil War called 'The Devil's Whore') and I'm now fully ceased of the idea that Sunderland is the greatest cultural focal point in all Christendom! I haven't just been reading though, I've also been listening and here's ten things my ears were enjoying: If like me, you loved Fisherspooner's first album (But thought everything they've released since then has been a big pile of [...]
