SweetKiss Momma, out of Puyallup, WA (about 30 min. south of Seattle), is a band for the ages. Though their music has been described as a sort of “Southern” Rock, that classification short changes the late-60’s British invasion, 70’s era Jam band, and even early-80’s Metal that impressively seeps its way into the "SKM" brew. Neither classic blues riffs, nor 3-part harmonies, nor funk-inspired breakdowns, nor grandiose anthems are out of place in their dynamically capable hands. These guys obviously spent some time digesting their parent’s record collections, and seem as though they would be right at home on a vinyl LP circa '74.
At the heart of their original material is a soulful bend that is completely genuine. These boys, who were raised on a steady diet of Hymns and Spirituals, skillfully combine aspects of this upbringing with the sunny-day vibe and playful bravado you would expect from a group as concerned with rocking your socks off as any other article of clothing. Lyrically, "SKM" embraces such classic themes as cheap love, costly loss, and afternoons spent wasting time, all with a slight wink to a naughty streak buried just under the surface.
If you have been longing for the days when you could believe in rock-n-roll, and are ready for an experience that can be both wildly unrestrained and gratifyingly affecting; then let me introduce you to your new favorite band: SweetKiss Momma.
