NI ROCKS recommends “Hit the Spot” by SWEET TASTE

Published: Thursday, 21 March 2013 00:00 | Written by NI ROCKS | Print | Hits: 5619

I’ve been a fan of Sweet Taste since they appeared on the local scene back in 2009 and first saw them perform live in August of that year when they supported Million Dollar Reload. They released their first EP just after that. Like most bands they’ve  gone through a few line-up changes but Niall Graham’s soaring bluesy vocals and Christopher Seaton’s excellent guitar work have remained constant throughout.


Their new EP entitled “Hit The Spot” is released on 22nd April by Rocksector Records who signed the band only recently. The EP tracks are “Get Your Groove On”, “Knocked Out”, “Lost My Mind” and “Midnight Train”. All four are really strong tracks that instantly get you hooked!

WELL when it comes down to bats, they're a protected species in Northern Ireland - which we suspect is why Cancer Bats keep coming back here for their share of good old fashioned rock 'n' feckin' roll.
