NOVEMBER 2, 2010 - What can I say? The band SWEETKISS MOMMA are the torch bearers of that southern rock sound that was created by the likes of THE ALLMAN BROTHERS AND LYNYRD SKYNYRD. The groove is undeniable and the soulful delivery of lead singer JEFF HAMEL can't be denied but the thing is this southern-fried approach to rock n roll is actually brought to you by way of the Northwest. Yes, SWEETKISS MOMMA hails from the very state that is responsible for the grunge sound but these guys do southern rock better than most southern acts that I can think of. On their album 'REVIVAL ROCK' not only does the band show a fondess for that moment in musical history where rock n roll was all about grit but the band's gospel influence is also highlighted on the some of the gentler tracks. People may scratch their heads with regard to the geography of the band and the images that their sound may generate, but folks can be assured that the bands embrace of a rootsier, southern sound are completely genuine.

ABOUT THE HOST: BRIAN
LUSH holds a BA in Creative Writing from the UNIVERSITY OF
NEW MEXICO. He established ROCKWIRED on New Years of 2004 and hasn’t
looked back
since.
From January 2005 to March 2009, LUSH was the host of the weekly
internet radio
show ROCKWIRED LIVE. He produced the program for the AMERICAN RADIO
NETWORK. As
the editor-in-chief for ROCKWiRED MAGAZiNE, LUSH is hands-on when it
comes to
interviewing and building a lasting rapport with the artists that come
ROCKWiRED’s
way. As a youngster, BRIAN LUSH had no idea what kind of seed was being
planted
by reading magazines such as HIT PARADE, HIGH TIMES, SPIN, REQUEST
(remember
that one?) and even ROLLING STONE (but to a significantly lesser
degree).
“Those were the days before the internet and being a rock journalist
looked
like the coolest job imaginable.” says LUSH “But reading these
magazines had me
imagining that one day I’d be the artist giving all of the clever
answers to
some poor guy with a tape recorder. Well, life has a way of surprising
you.
Now, I’m the poor guy with the tape recorder and asking all of the
questions.”
