History

Originally known as S.G.M., the band's members met while students at The Bush School. The band lineup changed in 1990, and included Rich Credo, Adam Czeisler, Cole Peterson, Dudley Taft and Paul Uhlir. Garnering acclaim for their debut Ter, the band was subsequently signed in 1992 by Jason Flom of Atlantic Records and released a self-titled album, Sweet Water produced by Don Gilmore (Linkin Park, Dashboard Confessional, Lit, Pearl Jam) and mixed by Tim Palmer (Mother Love Bone, Pearl Jam, Tin Machine, Robert Plant.) The band were then signed to Elektra Records subsidiary East-West, and they recorded a follow-up record Superfriends with Dave Jerden (Alice in Chains, Jane's Addiction) producing. Jerden returned to produce Suicide for Tom Zutaut of EMI imprint The Enclave. Suicide was eventually released in conjunction with Good-Ink records in 1999.

Members of the band engaged in various side-projects as well, including Peterson's work as bassist for Calm Down Juanita with Tyler Willman and Kevin Guess on their eponymous first studio album, Calm Down Juanita, released in 1998.[1] The band spent 2000-2006 on a self-imposed hiatus, releasing no new music and playing no shows. 2007 saw their return to the stage and various rock websites reported an album in the works.

In 2009, the band released the critically acclaimed Clear the Tarmac on Golden City Records, the label run by Sweet Water guitarist Rich Credo. Considered by many fans to be their best work, Clear the Tarmac sold well and represented what most fans and critics considered to be more than just a return to form. A video for its single Rock Steady garnered national airplay.

The band continues to tour and perform select shows: notable among them an Australian tour with Iggy Pop in Jan 2009. A 2008 tour with Stone Temple Pilots[1] was rumored to be a debacle and guitarist Rich Credo faced criminal charges for assaulting Scott Weiland. According to Jack White, who purported to be there at the backstage fight in New York City, "Credo beat the crap out of him."[citation needed]

In a recent interview, bassist Cole Peterson briefly spoke about the summer 2009 European tour with Oasis saying "we love it".
