Street Sweeper - Just Don't Work

  


    Street Sweeper are the Melbourne band who's debut single was featured on here a couple of years ago :  https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2023/02/street-sweeper-mama-i-cant-do-no-time.html

  Since then they've slimmed down to a trio; Allan Stacey (Guitar/Vocals), Ethan Stahl (Bass/Backing Vocals) & Abe Pedroza (Drums). If I've got this right The Doze and Joe Steele leaving after that debut release and former Chubby And The Gang bassist Ethan Stahl joining up in time for last year's Don't Wait ep.

  A couple of tracks from the Don't Wait sessions, recorded at C Block by Jack Knife, have just surfaced on the Twin Turbo single. The band say they're "clearing the cache" in preparation for them to get back in the studio to record a debut album.  The single's available as a name your price download :  https://streetsweeperruleok.bandcamp.com/album/twin-turbo

  This song is called Just Don't Work...

Street Sweeper - Mama I Can't Do No Time

  


  Here's an exciting new band from Melbourne (yep, Australia strikes gold again!), they're called Street Sweeper and they feature a line up of Allan Stacey, The Doze, Abe Pedroza & Joe Steele. They played their first gig last June on a bill that included Stepmother, Cutters and Neuros with the press release claiming they were "likely to unleash some Chuck Berry on speed/ coloured balls style Aussie pub rock to a room full of unsuspecting drunks."

  Fast forward 8 months or so and we get a chance to hear what they sound like courtesy of their debut single. Mixed in with that Aussie style, riff laden pub rock is a healthy dose of power pop. It's a very promising introduction, one that'll appeal to fans of bands such as The Saints, Stiff Richards etc. You can find it as a name your price download here :  https://streetsweeperstrength.bandcamp.com/track/mama-i-cant-do-no-time

  It's called Mama I Can't Do No Time...
