Sweet EVE

A versatile melodic alternative rock and heavy metal outfit based out of Los Angeles, Sweet Eve strike a balance between flashy, Sunset Strip sleaze and uncompromising heaviness. Originating in Providence, Rhode Island, the group relocated to L.A. in 2008 and eventually settled on a lineup consisting of guitarist/vocalist Tony Francis, drummer/keyboardist Russ Knight, and bassist Ian Shea. They released their debut album, Shadow Over Me, via Ironhorse Records in 2012, followed by high-profile performances alongside hard rock luminaries like Duff McKagan and L.A. Guns. For their sophomore outing, 2016's Immortal Machine, the group teamed up with legendary Megadeth drummer Nick Menza, who both played on and produced the LP -- Menza passed away later that May, making Immortal Machine his last recorded work. In 2019, the band returned with the five-track EP In Love and War. ~ James Christopher Monger
