Sweet Unrest

London’s Sweet Unrest is reviving the jagged, urgent energy of early-aughts indie sleaze without the ironic detachment. Their sound feels less like a revival and more like a necessary restoration of grit in an era of over-polished bedroom pop. We’re seeing early movement on Spotify editorial playlists, a clear signal that the industry is testing the waters for a guitar-driven comeback. Watch for their upcoming live dates; this is music designed for crowded basement rooms, not just streaming algorithms.
