"Nineties on Your Side"

The Sweet Homewreckers are an up-and-coming band from Ontario that has recently caught my ear. The bio on their webpage sums them up perfectly:

"If it's true that there is a tendency for young bands to wear their influences on their sleeves, the Sweet Homewreckers evidently can't decide which shirt to throw on. Formed in the small university town of Peterborough, ON, the Sweet Homewreckers are six-piece rock and roll outfit. They're tight enough to show the contours, but loose enough to let you move around. Take your basic two guitars, bass and drums, and throw in some horns for added appeal. As for the contents of their closet, the ensemble is quite eclectic. Their music has been described as harkening to the days of ..Halifax East-coast pop, with a long awaited nod to early Beulah.. included therein, and a fine mix of soft pop influences with hints of sweet 60s styles. Truth be told, it's hard to peg this band down, and as fans of anything-goes independent rock and/or roll, these young players couldn't be happier."

Their newest release is called From The Letdown to the Comearound, and I highly recommend picking it up. If you check out their MySpace, they also have some songs available for download.
