Sweatbeads - "STAY AWAKE"

Canadian act Sweatbeads craft a peppy rock charm on recent single “STAY AWAKE,” maneuvering from debonair “I do it all the time” proclamation to a wonderfully hooky segment. “So I’m trying to change, ’cause it feels like dying,” the vocals let out there, with ascended guitar tones and backing vocal adornments lending to that replay-inducing sequence. “STAY AWAKE” has Sweatbeads firmly on our radar.
