Sweet Talk

Sweet Talk are renowned for their high-energy live shows, readily whipping unsuspecting punters into frenzied states of boogie and unabashed song at the drop of a hat. The 6-piece band from Melbourne was founded over a bond of late nights, 70s grooves, classic song writing and improvised jams.

Gaining a loyal following, Sweet Talk have been journeying across Australia with appearances at some of the country’s favourite festivals including Byron Bay Bluesfest, Queenscliff Music Festival, Tamworth Country Music Festival, Port Fairy Folk Festival, Gympie Country Music Festival, Out On The Weekend and Groundwater along with live rooms, pubs and BBQ’s across cities and states.

2024 was a huge year, with a successful tour with Texan Charley Crockett, and appearances at Riverboats Music Festival and Byron Bay Bluesfest – where the Queen of Australian Country Music Kasey Chambers surprised fans by joining the boys on stage, Sweet Talk released their most recent single Real Good Cookin’ to rave reviews and Australian Top 50 Country chart success.

Since their launch into the scene, Sweet Talk have enjoyed widespread acclaim from industry and fans alike. “Sweet Talk was an absolute stand out at the two festivals in the last year where I caught them, Tamworth and Bluesfest” admits The Whitlams frontman, Tim Freedman. “It was pure musical lift off with charisma and earthy grunt.”

Their NEW single ‘Backseat Of My Car’ might sound like a teenage romance but it ain’t. Carrying on the rich tradition of Australia’s love affair with anti-establishment, anti-heroes that define the Aussie character, and based on the “greatest Australian TV series of all time” Mr. Inbetween. ‘Backseat Of My Car’ tells the story of a notorious underworld figure with an outlaws moral code that walks a thin line between right and wrong. ‘Backseat Of My Car’ showcases the bands genre-defying boogie. Two parts country, one part funk, with a dash of rock ‘n’ roll. It’s a sound Sweet Talk fans might not yet have heard from the band and is the first taste of their debut album.
