THE SLEEVEENS 

When Irish-born Count Vaseline/The Mighty Stef songwriter Stef Murphy met Stiff Little Fingers guitar tech Jamie Mechan in Nashville, Tennessee, it began a musical partnership of the highest order. After cranking out a few tunes at Mechan’s fledgling studio, 302 Sound, the duo started recruiting other musicians. The band was rounded out by drummer Ryan Sweeney (Cheap Time) and Eli Steele (Sweet Knives.) Dubbing themselves. The Sleeveens, an Irish term for a trickster, the band got to work. After recording and releasing their highly-touted “Give My Regards To The Dancing Girls” 45rpm single on Sweeney’s Sweet Time Records, they finished off their 11 track debut LP. The quartet were soon approached by longrunning punk label Dirtnap Records (Marked Men, Exploding Hearts) for the album’s 2024 release. The resulting LP is an homage to the kind of classic punk Chiswick, New Rose and Stiff Records were releasing 45 years before The Sleeveens existed. With earworm melodies and screaming guitars, the foursome have crafted one of the best albums of the year. Murphy’s penchant for charmingly brilliant, matter-of-fact lyricism has a similar poetic quality as Mark E. Smith or Jonathan Richman. With expert mastering by Jim Diamond (The White Stripes, The Dirtbombs) to put the finishing touches on the sound, The Sleeveens is a record that is simultaneously uncompromisingly raw and thoughtfully crafted.


SWEET PETE 

Sweet Pete is the latest project from New Jersey based singer/songwriter Pete Mazza. After a ten year tenure helming CT quartet Jacques Le Coque, Pete found modern means to fashion a long stirring obsession with early rock &amp; roll predecessors into a new outfit of his own. The window dressing jumpsuit and pompadour are not to be mistaken for carbon copy tribute or hokey homage. Bolstered by Rochester journeyman Trevor Lake of Televisionaries on rhythm and NJ’s six string slinger Collin Rocker of Old Lady, Sweet Pete forms a live and energetic showman paying debt to the past and giving way to the future.
