Sweet Soul

With members scattered between Los Angeles and The High Desert of California, Sweet Soul is a band who understands the urgency to create. With the perfect infusion of early punk and alternative rock, Sweet Soul carefully craft songs to play repeatedly on your month long tour across the U.S.


Vocalist Taylor Soul, guitarists Ian Manness and Zach Manz, bassist Kyle Esbin, and drummer Brad Racine formed Sweet Soul in 2019, quickly releasing a cassette EP called “Do You Like Good Music?” through New Morality Zine. They have released their debut full length LP titled “So Far No Further” January 19th, 2021. It was released as a collaboration between New Morality Zine and Extinction Burst Records.


“The stellar debut album “So Far No Further” by California band SWEET SOUL exemplifies just how hard they’ve worked to refine their brand of pop infused punk rock.  The LP opens with a harder hitting rendition of 'Some Nerve' to lure listeners in with the familiar but also show the band is not holding anything back - thick bass lines that carry almost solo level, twinkling guitar, sustaining wash and catchy chorus. A sign of things to come for the rest of the record. SWEET SOUL take advantage of that initial grip on the listener and continue with 10 more tracks demonstrating that while the band relies on their hardcore chops they have found a perfect intersection of punk and power pop   SWEET SOUL present an album full of cathcy riffs and tender melody. “
