“Do You Understand?” captures that summery, carefree feeling we’ve been longing for as we shiver through this Aussie winter
This pop-rock band from Long Island, New York, has crafted a track that exudes an infectious lightness, reminiscent of the dreamy, lighthearted vibes we love from classic rock acts like Kaiser Chiefs. It’s the kind of song that could soundtrack the climactic rom-com moment we all secretly crave.
The song itself wastes no time in jolting you awake with its booming vocals, immediately dropping you into a catchy chorus that will stay with you for days; the burrowing earworm will leave you humming its irresistible melody long after the song has ended.
But it’s not just the infectious chorus that will grab your attention—Evil Sweet knows how to deliver face-melting guitar solos bursting with charisma. These moments of musical brilliance inject an extra dose of excitement into an already captivating track.
“Do You Understand?” has endured a bumpy road to its release, which makes its arrival all the more triumphant. Originally recorded over two years ago, it was the first professional recording experience for the band, marking the beginning of the fated collaboration with producer Nicholas Starrantino.
While thematically and musically distinct from their recent EP, “Queen Victoria,” this single was meant to be Evil Sweet’s polished pop-rock debut. However, due to various circumstances, the song encountered delays, and the band decided to release the EP first.
Despite the practical difficulties faced during the development process amid the Covid 19 lockdowns, the band managed to infuse the track with an easy-breezy energy that is palpable.
There’s a distinct live quality to the recording, showcasing Evil Sweet’s determination to stay true to their musical pocket and feed off each other’s energy, resulting in a work that is perfectly balanced with spontaneity and charm.
Evil Sweet is not just a band; they’re a group of childhood friends who found their musical synergy and embarked on a journey of self-discovery through their art.
With Zachary Castro and Scotty O’Brien-Curcie at the songwriting helm, Evil Sweet has evolved from gritty alternative rock to a lighter pop sound, all while staying true to their creative vision.
As other members, including Billy Treglia on bass, Liam Bricker on drums, and JT Esposito on lead guitar, joined the ranks, the band’s sound flourished.
Evil Sweet’s “Do You Understand?” is a testament to the power of music to uplift and inspire, even in the face of adversity. Its energetic and optimistic spirit will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the challenges that come your way.
As we eagerly anticipate more new music from Evil Sweet throughout 2023, it’s clear that this band is poised to continue spreading joy and positivity through their captivating melodies and heartfelt lyrics.
So, plug in your headphones, turn up the volume, and let Evil Sweet take you on a musical journey filled with infectious enthusiasm and a vibrant zest for life. Trust us, it’s an experience you won’t want to miss.
