The Regal Sweet was born of bar room afternoons spent romanticizing over jukebox gems with a particular flavor of rock’n’roll.

The band officially formed in the summer 2018 in Pittsburgh. Known for their raucous brand of high-energy shows, their sound waltzes through classic rock styling with a sprinkling of boozy sophistication. The Regal Sweet writes songs that promote hip shakin’ and poor decision making. It’s no surprise their influences nod heavily at swagger kings like The Faces, Mott the Hoople, James Gang, T-Rex and the Stooges. Although sometimes songs dive deeper and take sharp turns into corners of American roots music, early punk or maybe even a New Orleans street party.

That 2018 beginning wrapped up at Marigny Studio in New Orleans just a few months later and inadvertently spawned what would be a “new” band and their first EP. Members floated in and out of the newly crowned Regal Sweet from 2019-2023 until a solid lineup would finally be established. The self-titled 2019 EP received critical praise and had songs “Believer” & “Starlight Strange” receive radio play both in and outside of the USA. The band recently entered the studio to record songs for their first full-length. Single releases are expected in spring 2025 with a full vinyl release to follow.
