Sweat

Sweat is a Swiss-American quartet based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, built around vocalist and organist Sue Pedrazzi, who left Basel, Switzerland with a hungry heart for authentic vintage rock. Alongside Steel City players Richard Stanley (Rich the Band), Dan Hernandez (Limousine Beach, Cruces) and Kayla Schureman (Century III), she formed a traditional band with fresh, energetic ideas. Their sound blends British prog rock sensibilities, fragile American folk and heaps of 70s schmaltz, drawing on Deep Purple and The Moody Blues, the strutting beat of The Who, and the wailing highs and broken lows of Heart. The debut album Who Do You Think You Are? arrived in 2023, with a follow-up, In Dreams, due 25 September 2026. Discovered via Brian Heason (HBM Promotions / Music Plugger).
