SWEAT formed in early 2019 in Los Angeles, CA with the intention to create a distinct take on the bastardization of rock & roll and hardcore. Compromised of members of Graf Orlock, Dangers, Dogteeth, Ghostlimb, and many others, the members (Tuna Tardugno, vocals, Anthony Rivera, drums and Justin Smith, guitar/vocals), have shared collective investment & contribution in the Southern California music scene for 25 years.
Over four releases the band has moved through territorial influences that ranged from the Wipers to Cro-Mags, Masshysteri to Rival Mob, and Motorhead to Thin Lizzy, with a sprinkling of disco cadence and a heavy dose of snark. Blending these genres together seamlessly produces a sound that is at once classic rock while offering a unique heaviness, all tied together with a vocal delivery that acts as a rhythmic accompaniment to the music. The drumming is informed by influences well outside of punk and translates as sorely needed feel and creativity, while the guitars maintain an aggression that only rarely lets up.
In 2024 SWEAT released their second full-length LP Love Child (both on the bands own label Vitriol Records). Love Child takes off where Gotta Give It Up left off. More melody, more aggression, more banger tracks. The two singles released in March 2024 “Give Me Action” and “White Nectarines” showed the band at a new song writing level, exemplifying an intensified and honed mix of rage and riffs.
