About Sweetheart

There are several artists named Sweetheart: 1) Sweetheart is a post-hardcore band whose four members are self-proclaimed art-nerds, which perfectly describes why the band’s rather disjointed six-track sermon flows with the ease of a stroke of a brush. Chock full of dissonant yet memorable musical passages and laced with luscious jam band prowess, this Kent, OH based quartet showcase a knack for writing powerful riffs that collide with contagious choruses, all the while maintaining a strong level of cleverness and ingenuity. Members: Ahmed Gallab - Vocals, Drums Michael Howard - Vocals, Guitar Greg Lofaro: Vocals, Bass Bryan Parker: Vocals, Guitar 2) Sweetheart was one of the finest 90's post-punk outfits in Finland. Their Birthday Party meets AC/DC brand of punky swamp-blues was terrifyingly intense on record (which were released by the seminal Finnish label Bad Vugum) but live they were something totally otherworldly, bulldozing everything in sight with pure volume and sonic intensity. Members: Janne Westerlund - Vocals, Guitar Pekka Jääskeläinen - Guitar, Bass Tommi Nakari - Bass, Guitar Leopold Higgins - Drums, Percussion 3) Hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia, Sweetheart are a four piece power pop indie rock sensation. Sweetheart was formed in 2004, where fate intervened earlier that same year when Marty (guitar and lead vocals) and MK (drums) bumped into each other at a party in Vancouver not having seen each other since their Victoria childhood. After solidifying the line-up with Sammy (guitar and vocals) and Weezee (bass and vocals), an LP was independently released late in 2006 aptly titled "Map of the Human Heart". Touring the album for 2 years the boys opened up for such bands as Shiny Toy Guns, The Stills, The Trews, Mariana's Trench, Faber Drive, The Dudes, and Two Hours Traffic, just to name a few. With a critically live show and called one of “Vancouver's best live bands”, their stage energy is second to none and totally infectious. 4) Sweetheart is an American rap/hip-hop artist. Since the release of the debut album Namesake on June 25th, 2011, Sweetheart has released roughly 10 mixtapes & 5 rap albums. Sweetheart studied at SCAD, though she was offered a full-ride through Jr. Miss. She graduated from GST, trained with the BAA, & influences workshops nation-wide for theater, improv., runway, & dance. She modeled for Mercedes Benz, and was in a national film.
