Sweet teeth + Statues

Welcome to Platens Bar when Sweet Teeth & Statues take the stage!

Sweet Teeth is a Swedish band that moves in the borderland between melody and abrasion, where nervous energy meets crooked hooks and lyrics with both darkness and a glimmer in the eye. With one foot in alternative pop/rock and the other in a more edgy, guitar-driven expression, they create music that feels both immediate and restless. The songs are characterized by strong contrasts – the sweet against the biting, the vulnerable against the explosive. The sound is as much about feeling as it is about attitude, balancing everyday life with discharge. Live, Sweet Teeth delivers with presence and intensity where the songs get a new life in the encounter with the audience. Tight but never contrived, personal without becoming introverted – a band that sounds like they mean it.

Statues is a Swedish indie-/punk band that combines melodic sharpness with restless energy and a clear DIY ethos. With a sound leaning as much towards nervous pop feel as raw guitar intensity, they create songs that both stick – and chafe. The music is built on contrasts where big melodies meet angular arrangements and introspective lyrics clash with a drive that refuses to stand still. There is a constant movement in the songs, as if they are pushing forward to the next chorus. Live, Statues plays with conviction and presence rather than perfection. It’s energetic, uncompromising, and personal – for those who like their pop with dirt under their nails and their punk with melodies that cling.
