In the world of alternative rock, where authenticity and passion are the heartbeat of a band, SWEET SPINE emerges as a force to be reckoned with. Founded in 2021 by the imaginative mind of Fox Haynes, SWEET SPINE hails from Greenville, South Carolina, and has rapidly become a sensation both locally and online. What started as a high school doodle and a serendipitous TikTok moment has now transformed into a captivating journey of self-discovery for this young and dynamic trio.

The band's breakout moment came with the release of their single "Darkness" in July, a hauntingly melodic track that resonated deeply with listeners. Fox Haynes took matters into his own hands, utilizing TikTok as a platform to showcase their music. The unexpected explosion of "Darkness" on TikTok, garnering nearly a million views and over 1.5 million streams on Spotify, catapulted SWEET SPINE into the spotlight.

SWEET SPINE’S appeal lies not just in their viral success but in their infectious enthusiasm and a genuine love for their craft. Comprising Fox Haynes (vocals and lead guitar), Taylor Priola (bass), and Brannan Crook (drums), the trio brings a unique blend of grunge, shoegaze, and punk to their music. Their 2022 debut album, "C-Section," echoed the hardcore sounds of Nirvana and Deftones, while recent singles like "Darkness" and "888" showcase a more polished production.

Each member contributes a distinct flavor to their sound, drawing inspiration from diverse influences. From folk artists like The Tallest Man on Earth to the technical basslines of Victor Wooten and the punk roots of Travis Barker, SWEET SPINE’S music reflects a rich tapestry of musical influences.

While their roots are deeply embedded in Greenville, SWEET SPINE  has rapidly expanded their reach beyond South Carolina. With almost 30,000 TikTok followers and a growing presence on Spotify Editorial playlists, their music has resonated with audiences worldwide.
