Sweet Return + Spider Baby

Sweet Return is a London-based alternative rock band that formed in 2025. Their sound merges the emotional intensity of Jeff Buckley with the heavier, distorted elements reminiscent of early Nirvana and the Smashing Pumpkins, resulting in a bruised, melodic, and volatile style characteristic of alternative music.  Fronted by Jack Reynolds on vocals and guitar, with Ben Cheetham on piano/synth, Nicko Mroczkowski on guitar, Angus Robertson on bass, and Oscar Williams on drums, the band has been rapidly building a reputation in the live music scene across London. Recent highlights include festival performances at Westival and a support slot for The Hunger at the Sebright Arms. They joined Babyshambles as the main support for the Nottingham date of their UK tour on 8 December.
