Sweet Pill

Philadelphia’s Sweet Pill combine the sonic armaments of hardcore with the sugar-fueled anxiety of emo pop, resulting in an assured and distinctive sound that falls somewhere between Paramore and Circa Survive. Founded in 2019, the band issued their first long-player, the Topshelf-issued Where the Heart Is, in 2022. They inked a deal with Hopeless Records in 2023 and unveiled their first single for the label, "Starchild," later that year.
