((Ian Sweet)) Band Profile and Upcoming Chicago Concerts - Oh My Rockness

Written by Patrick McNamara

Ian Sweet is a solid band from Los Angeles (via Brooklyn via Boston) led by singer/songwriter/guitarist Jilian Medford (she used to record under the name "IAN" but no more) that makes lo-fi post ___ goodness.

What other good bands does this good band sound like?

Think ____ meets _____ meets _____ (!) and you should be on the right track.

The trio (Medford, who I mentioned previously + bassist Damien Scalise + drummer Tim Cheney = a good band) will release their debut album (Shapeshifter) for Hardly Art (File Under: The Best Record Label Named After A Thermals Song Ever) and I bet it's going to be really good.

(If you're reading this in the future and this record is already out please get in touch via Twitter to confirm I was, in fact, coming 10000% correct on this.)

Here's a new song from Shapeshifter. It's called “Slime Time Live."
