Why it is trending: Sweets’ “WEIRD MONEY” is catching fire across alt and indie circles thanks to its frenzied Big Beat energy, unfiltered self-expression, and a defiant message that resonates with anyone who’s ever felt judged for being different.
Sweets is fast emerging as one of the UK’s most compelling new alternative voices, channeling distortion-heavy production and raw lyricism into music that feels both chaotic and cathartic. Hailing from Newcastle upon Tyne, Sweets has turned personal adversity into artistic fuel, following previous singles “REAL PEOPLE” and the deeply vulnerable “SEIZURE,” which confronted the anxiety surrounding his epilepsy diagnosis. Despite ongoing health challenges — including suffering a seizure during a studio session — his determination to create has only strengthened his resolve. His electrifying live presence has seen him open for acts like Deki Alem and Kneecap, as well as supporting Anthony Szmierek, GANS, Everyone You Know, and BBY.
Released via EMI North and Soul Kitchen, “WEIRD MONEY” is a kinetic blast of fuzzy distortion and percolating beats that nods to the anarchic spirit of Big Beat while carving out something entirely its own. The track dives into the sting of being labelled “weird,” especially growing up somewhere conformity can feel enforced — and flips that label into a badge of honour. Barked with conviction and layered with gritty production, the song becomes an anthem for outsiders reclaiming their identity. With its rebellious energy and deeply personal undertones, “WEIRD MONEY” doesn’t just celebrate eccentricity — it weaponises it.
