Fox on the run
“Sweet” is considered one of the main British bands in the seventies which were the early forms of glam rock or pop metal of the following decade. They had it all, the hits, the music, the melody, the charm, and the sound, but somehow, they could not materialize their fame and success and faded out slowly over the next decade. Although the surviving members occasionally continue their tours, their heydays of the seventies could never be repeated.
