Sweet, featuring original guitarist Andy Scott, are gearing up for the release of their remastered single "Stand Up", which will be issued on April 30th. They have posted a teaser, found below. 

The song, originally released in 1992 via SPV under the moniker Andy Scott's Sweet, will be available digitally for the first time.

Sweet release their new single "Set Me Free" on March 5th, ttaken from the band’s current album, Isolation Boulevard. It features all the Sweet’s classic hit singles and was recorded with the new line-up during lockdowns between September and October 2020. It’s a reworking of Sweet’s 1975 album multi-million selling, Desolation Boulevard. The latest single "Set Me Free" is taken from the album, and although it is one of the most covered songs in the band’s repertoire, this marks the first time Sweet has released it as an official single.

Over the years, the song has been covered by many rock artists including Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe (with Billy Idol guitarist Steve Stevens) Saxon.

"Recording an album separately in different locations throws up a myriad of technical problems," says Andy Scott. "It's impossible for everyone to play at the same time, so all parts are performed the “old” way and then data transferred back to base camp where the magical digital stuff takes over. Sweet would usually record all together in the studio with a performance rather than individually but the pandemic dictated the ways and means. The result is a mind-blowing set of tracks, all the hits and a barrage of heavy-duty glam rock."
