One of the second/third string grunge bands that followed Nirvana, Pearl Jam, AIC, Screaming Trees,
et al., out of Seattle in the ealy 1990's with the added twist of a reasonably legitimate comeback, seriously "post-wave".
Sweet Water were bassist Cole Peterson, guitarist Rich Credo, drummer Paul Uhlir, and singer Adam Czeisler.......in the initial grunge era, they released a few albums reminiscent of, say, Mother Love Bone or Green River, fans of the classic early 90's Seattle grunge sound (like myself) may enjoy the vintage releases that I have here (Note: I do NOT have the difficult to locate "Ter" from 1992, I think I have heard it but not sure, anyone with a copy to share I would be thrilled to hear from), "Sweet Water" from 1993 (highlights: "Crawl" and "Sleep", remember the Seattle bands' fondnss for one-word tiles?), and the similar "Superfriends" from 1995 (Standout tracks: "Cake and Strychnine", "No Syrup For Your Pancakes")......

Clik here to view.All of which would add to a fairly undistingushed career, other than this very odd career pattern : in 2009 (!), after several years of hiatus from recording/performing, they released what at least I consider to be thier bestrk, "Clear theTarmac"......really, a surprisingly hard rocking and really listenable album. Sounds like 1996-2008 never even happened, a fine, retro-90's sounding effort, complete with the short song titles ("Rock Steady", "Stereo"), this is something of a "retro-classic" if that is even the proper terminology......
Not TERRIBLY familiar, see what ya think about the older efforts, as well as"Clear the Tarmac", anyone jonesing for some classic-sounding Grunge, here be a small bit of it at least!
SWEET WATER-01 Crawl/02 Everything Will Be Alright/03 Head Down/04 Sleep/05 Stripped Down/06 Where Has the Day Gone/07 King of 79/08 Losing/09 Can't Say No/10 Feel Good/11 Like a Child/12 Untitled
SUPERFRIENDS-01 Cake And Strychnine/02 Feed Yourself/03 Painless/04 Superstar/05 Big Rock
Show/06 Back Into Your Way/07 Slide/08 Adeline/09 No Syrup For Your Pancakes/10 Happy/11 Self Hater/12 Win
CLEAR THE TARMAC-01 Grass is Green/02 Rock Steady/03 Stereo/04 Tonight/05 Dogs At Bay/06 Moonless Sky/07 Hesitation/08 Miss You/09 Elevator/10 Sneak Attack
Always trying to keep it varied, we'll see what I have up next.....taking a SMALL break from the BIG projects (Mott, Riot Grrrls, XTC) for a few days, but there ARE several more in the pipeline!
