“Should Be Sweet carry weights and drop them like gifts, right on your toes, big and weathered slabs of the stuff, flying around the room. Songs this dense shouldn’t be so agile in the air, but they twist and turn on a dime.” Gallery Listen

“Should Be Sweet smash it hard into the pavement, heavy and explosive. While the heftier, slower parts encourage banging of heads and spraining of necks, it’s the faster moments that cause the most damage, kinetic effects through melodic velocity.” Gallery Listen

I would like to acknowledge that the gigs that are pictured here, the stages they’re played on, the bars and venues they’re held in, and the good times they represent, are all held on lands that were never ceded by Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I acknowledge these First Australians as the traditional custodians of the continent, whose cultures are among the oldest living cultures in human history. I pay respect to the Elders of the community and extend my recognition to their descendants.
