LIQUOR SWEET originally from Akron/Cleveland, Ohio, was formed in 1988. After playing shows locally nearly every night of the week, the audiences kept growing. Soon the band was playing bigger venues throughout the state and their following continued to expand until they found themselves playing sell-out shows and landing opening slots with national acts such as KIX, House of Lords, Nitro, Pretty Boy Floyd, Saraya, and countless others. The band then decided to set its sights on Hollywood, California. They packed their gear and hit the road in their new home, a 62-passenger renovated school bus, which is only the beginning of their story.
Hollywood, California had it all …the venues …Gazzarri's, Rainbow Bar and Grill, The Roxy Theatre, Troubadour, Whisky a Go-Go, Coconut Teaszer, and more; the publications… L.A. Weekly, Rock City News, Bam and Screamer; one of the best radio stations in the country… KNAC Pure Rock 105.5. Throughout the decade and into the early 1990s, the Sunset Strip would be on full display with countless major label signings and needless to say …hundreds of very talented unsigned bands including LIQUOR SWEET.
LIQUOR SWEET was now in the most competitive market for rock ‘n’ roll that had ever existed. During this era, the Sunset Strip had become a living, breathing entity of extreme depth and breadth of musicality, self-indulgence, and living in the intrepidly fast and dangerous lane. They are the last generation of rock bands that ruled the Los Angeles music scene! But as it goes for every band, the story of LIQUOR SWEET would eventually come to an end. Unable to get the record deal they needed to continue, the band members went their separate ways and pursued their own individual projects and interests.
Now, more than 30-years later, Eonian Records is proud to release this amazing band once again to the public. This self-titled release features a booklet full of never-before-seen photos spanning the band's entire career; a bio written by famed Metal Forces writer Ken Anthony; and 15 digitally remastered songs from five different studio sessions by none other than Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound. This is must-have music for every fan of GLAM & SLEAZE.
