What are people saying about Sweet Leda?
Carrie Neuman for 103.1 WRNR
“…they are one of the tightest bands on the local circuit and their professional attitude off stage does not prepare you for their raucous on stage antics. To put it simply, they are fun, and this new track (“Can’t Stand”) off their latest album embodies that fun.”
“Sweet Leda put the ‘Hot’ in Hot August Blues!”
by Randy Bucksner for TriState Indie
” . . . Sweet Leda was this year’s delightful find . . . Julie Cymek’s distinctive voice brought it strong . . . Think Adele mixed with Mary J. Blige with a certain South Of The Mason-Dixon Line ache that’s all her own . . . I listened to the CD in the car on the way home and it made my trip north on 83 quite the funky ride. There is not a bad song on it. I recommend you get one for your own ride or house party or whatever. You will not be disappointed.” (more)
What’s Up Annapolis Magazine Spotlight
by Natalie Lord
“Their rock, soul and even funk influences are not subtle, and the band members do not hold back their intimacy with the music from their active presence on stage. Their fusionist sound may make you so inclined to stomp your boots before you kick them off after hard days work . . . ” (more)
Ocean City Today
Music Makers by Brandi Mellinger
“Led by Cymek’s dominant vocals (not as cutting as Pink’s or as gritty as Janis Joplin’s, but with a little more edge than English songstress Joss Stone’s), the Annapolis-based act performs music that would fit snugly into the psychedelic rock period, but with a modern twist.” (more)
