Sink or Swim
Album
Release: 11th September 2020
“While Sink Or Swim is firmly rooted in the past, it’s not a revival album in any way. Sweet’s songs are way too strong for that. He knows exactly how to let his guitar rip and he’s blessed with a fine rock voice. If you love your vintage rock as much as I do you’ll struggle to find any kind of fault with Sink or Swim.”
“From his heartfelt songwriting to stadium-ready vocals, it is clear that Adam Sweet is a rising star in waiting. Sink or Swim is a stunning album from a young bluesman with an ancient soul and a large presence in the here-and-now. ****1/2”
“Adam Sweet is an undiscovered gem and “Sink or Swim” is a real showcase for his talents lyrically, musically and vocally. 9/10”
“What runs through the core of all of these songs is a strong sense of authenticity and absolutely honesty that, along with the excellent riff work, is utterly infectious.”
“There is an honesty and integrity to Sweet's delivery that is very compelling and avoids obvious cliché. The overall sound can swing from being reminiscent of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bad Company to the more soulful country tinged tones of Jackson Browne or The Eagles, but the whole collection hangs together beautifully. One of the most enjoyable recordings I've come across this year.”
“Sink Or Swim does not disappoint. The immediacy of Adam and his band has been captured perfectly, at times you feel like you are in the room with them.”
“A singer songwriter who has the chops, the phrasing and evocative songs to make ‘Sink Or Swim’ a splendid example of contemporary roots rock. He’s a thoughtful songwriter who leads his band purposefully into a mellifluous musical journey that always leaves you wanting to hear the next track.”
“It’s pretty flippin’ good”
“On his new album 'Sink or Swim' Adam Sweet knows how to surprise. His second studio release is very varied, fresh and innovative and shows that Sweet has a lot more musically in store…” - Eric Schuurmans
