INTRODUCING: Sweet Pill
We’re ridiculously excited to announce the newest addition to the Topshelf family and roster, @sweetpilll!

Their debut full length album ‘Where the Heart Is’ comes out May 25. You can hear the first single “Blood” everywhere right now! It’s accompanied by an equally as punchy music video for you to watch.
🩸🍬🩸🍬

Philadelphia’s Sweet Pill write eruptive emo songs that embrace the edges of pop and hardcore. The kind of band whose members are fully immersed in their local scene, the quintet’s sound takes wide-spectrum influence from its environment. The result is a mix of complex song structures and flourishes of technical acumen, wholly unconcerned with genre, yet evoking the specific styles of touchstones such as Paramore and Circa Survive.
