Last Resort at Cole's Bar

Sweet Thorns is a new indie/punk band from Chicago. They identify as “four queers born out of a desire to do something good for the community” after starting out as complete strangers in a rock-lotto style fundraiser for Girls Rock! Chicago; giving them seven weeks to learn a cover and write two originals. Their debut EP Picky Eater feels raw and real in a way that a lot of modern indie rock forgets to be. The songs sit somewhere between lofi punk and late night bedroom recordings, full of restless energy and emotional honesty. The EP was recorded at Experimental Sound Studios with Kate In, and mixed/mastered by Hayes McIntosh.
