The Trouble with Sweeney was a band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that existed from 1999 to 2004.[1]
The band's songwriter and frontman Joey Sweeney started the band five years after leaving The Barnabys and recording a solo album, Heartache Baseball. They released two full-length albums and two EPs on Burnt Toast Vinyl, as well as a self-titled EP which was released shortly after their formation. They also released an EP on the Basement Life imprint called Play Karen (and Others) in 2002.[2] Many of the band's songs depict life in the city of Philadelphia and the surrounding area, and their final EP, Fishtown Briefcase, is named after a Philadelphia neighborhood.[3][4] "The Counterfeiters" from I Know You Destroy! and "Waiting for Gary" from Play Karen (and Others) directly refer to or quote the writings of André Gide, a French author.[5][6]
Joey Sweeney wrote for alternative weekly newspaper Philadelphia Weekly in the 1990s[7] is now the editor of the website Philebrity.
Producer Brian McTear has gone on to mix, engineer, and produce albums for a number of notable artists, such as Marissa Nadler, Espers, Sharon Van Etten, Jens Lekman, Meg Baird, Danielson Famile, Mazarin, and Greg Weeks.[8]
