Quick safety briefing: secure all loose objects and notify your next of kin, because Street Sweeper is about to turn your living room into ground zero of a sonic explosion. This multicontinental wrecking crew (featuring alumni of Chubby and The Gang, Weekend, The Prize, and Gutless) just dropped their sophomore EP, and holy hell-once you hit play, you’ll experience some kind of blackout, coming to your senses drenched in sweat, speakers crackling, and your neighbor’s angry fist banging on your door.<\/p>\n

Now stripped down to a power trio, Street Sweeper trades their previous punked up Thin Lizzy approach<\/a> for something even more lethal-a brass-knuckled combo of pub rock swagger, garage grit, and power pop hooks. The assault kicks off with a power chord that makes you sit straight and Allan Stacey’s soul-scorching howl: “Doooooooooon’t Waiiiiit!” Ten seconds in, and resistance becomes futile. Too Much Is Never Enough<\/em> follows like a punch to the pleasure center, dropping an earworm chorus that is followed by an “oooh yeah!” that would make Shogun of Royal Headache proud.<\/p>\n

These two songs alone would’ve made a perfect double A-side single. But Allan Stacey, Ethan Stahl, and Abe Pedroza had more in the tank when recording in their storage unit. Out To Dry<\/em> is a high-octane ’70s pub rock hit, while My World At Night<\/em>\u00a0can’t decide if it’s a power pop anthem or a rock’n’roll stomper – and it’s all the better for it!<\/p>\n

What a way to close out the year for Legless Records, and what an insane return by Street Sweeper!<\/p>\n
