Sweet Revenge is the 70s-style rock band behind the soundtrack of my builds: loud guitars and music made for driving muscle cars.

The story behind the name

Sweet Revenge was a rock band from Rotterdam. It grew out of a local new-wave group that released the single "Help Me Loving You" with "Sweet Revenge" on the B-side, on the Inelco label in 1978. Early in 1979 the band took the name of that B-side.

They played Heavy Rotterdam, Paradiso in Amsterdam, De Effenaar in Eindhoven, the PenPop and NewPop festivals, and shared the bill with Talking Heads at the open-air theatre in Rotterdam.

Members of my family played in that band. They're no longer with us, and this project carries their name on. I write the lyrics myself and use AI to help shape the songs. Then I learn every track on my own guitar, so I can play them myself.
