These guys are from San Diego. I used to work with Matt (long hair rocker in the pic. AKA Wilda) at MP3. I've been following these guys for a while now. This album is *really* well done in my opinion. Somewhere around the 3rd or 4th listen it opened up for me. They've really done a great of job adding dimension to their sound. Nice work guys! If you're in San Diego, their CD release party is this Saturday at O'Connell's.
The Playlist:
1) Part of We: That little "guitar?" riff in the back drop is sick. The build up to the chorus make me rock out in my chair every time ;) Jeff rocking it on bass. I hear you back there :)
2) All Wrong: Nice beats Rob.
3) There and Back Again: This song gives me chills every time. Matt wrote it for our boy Don Ross who was called up and sent off to Iraq in 2003. Glad you made it back in one piece pal! Nice song Matt! Really sounds good. This is one you can listen to without purchasing the cd. Do it.
4) Lovegirl: I first heard this song in Matt's car on a cd he had cut in his bathroom or something :) This was pre-SweetTooth. I love it. The first verse of this song rocks:
You caught me watching you this morning, you thought you were alone...you forget how much I love to watch you wander in a world of your own.5) The Crutch: This is one you can hear without purchasing the cd, so go listen to it. Good rocking song. I like the guitar and drums in this one.
6) El Cajon: This is a song from Rob's old band The Wreck. The distortion on Matt's voice is cool. Got a rocking drive to it.
7) No Big Mystery: Ah meet *Mrs* Cathryn Beeks of the Cathryn Beeks Ordeal. Highly recommend checking her out. She's a beautiful, soulful goddess, and core (glue) to the San Diego music scene. She just got married too - congrats Mrs. Edwards!
8) Bleeding Nerve: Good old SweetTooth song. Head rocker for sure.
9) Holding Back the Rain: Meet Matt Silvia. Dog's got a voice. John's guitar work on this one is sick.
10) The Rain: I roll it and I smoke it. A cool down tune.
11) Pushing You Away: I totally dig the chorus to this song. Cathryn throws down at the end. Awesome.
12) Bring on The Love: Matt and Cathryn doing that thing they do. It's got this rocking jam in the middle of the song.
13) TV: K, I love Matt and I love SweetTooth, but this song for me is all about Barbara Nesbitt on back up vocals. She comes through like an angel. Damn! I know that sounds cheezy, but seriously, like an angel.
Awesome. That was fun. Good to hear SweetTooth doing well and rocking it out. Good to hear some familiar voices from the SD community in there as well. If you like a good rocking sound, it's worth $10 go to download this cd and give it a listen. Like I said earlier, it took about 3 or 4 listens before it cracked open for me. Luv it when that happens. Thanks guys for a great piece of work. Rob - Artwork on the CD - sick dog!

It's all true, every word written here. I was lucky enough to get an advance copy and truthfully, it hasn't left my CD Player yet. My iPod thinks I'm cheating on it.
