SweetCrude

Sweet Crude are one of the most original bands to emerge from New Orleans in recent years — an indie pop and electro act who fuse contemporary production with the French language and Cajun musical tradition of south Louisiana in a way that is wholly their own.

Sweet Crude

Sweet Crude formed in New Orleans in the early 2010s with a genuinely unusual premise: merge the French-language traditions of Louisiana's Cajun and Creole heritage with modern indie pop and electronic production. The result is danceable, emotional, and deeply connected to Louisiana roots. The band sings in both English and Louisiana French, treating the language as a living cultural inheritance worth preserving and evolving. They have earned critical acclaim and a devoted following through their recordings and electrifying live shows.
