Freewheeling New York rock band The Sweet Things today roll out “Brown Leather”, their potent new single and action-packed video. The song is the title track of the band’s second album due out on June 3rd, 2022, via Wendigo Productions NYC / Spaghetty Town Records; an 11-song album that’s rife with a sweet mix twangin’ bangin’ country blues, bluesy country and Southern rock and roll.

The “Brown Leather” video was filmed by award-winning director Video Rahim (Mastodon, Blackberry Smoke) and shot at the Boot Bar in Manhattan, with exterior scenes filmed shot at Chips Bar and Grill in Winder, GA.

“Brown Leather” tells timeless tales that sound familiar yet fresh at the same time.

The band’s debut album “In Borrowed Shoes, On Borrowed Time” was released in 2019. Faster and Louder praised the record stating “‘In Borrowed Shoes’ is The Sweet Things’ ‘Exile on Main St’., it runs the stylistic gamut from trashy rock n’ roll to blues to country to soulful ballads”, while Sleaze Roxx compared it to if the “1972 Stones were exiled in the New York City’s East Village instead of the south of France”.
