The Sweet may be known as the satin jumpsuit-clad outfit behind iconic ’70s tracks such as The Ballroom Blitz and Fox on the Run. However, as guitarist Andy Scott – the lone survivor of the original powerhouse lineup – tells Guitar World, beyond the glitz, glamour, and the hits, the band eventually felt “it was more important to make music we wanted to hear without compromise.”
Unfortunately, The Sweet’s trajectory was marred by vocalist Brian Connolly’s drinking problems.
