Sweet Unrest are done being polite. 'All The Same (La Di Da)' is a breakneck anti-romance that pulls no punches — fizzing guitars, punching drums, and Jack River's raspy vocals delivering a scathing takedown with a grin on its face.
The London five-piece have form for this kind of thing. Their sound sits somewhere in the overlap between 90s Britpop grit and fuzzier alt-rock — less polished than their more tender previous work, more interested in friction. Producer Luke Burgoyne, whose credits stretch from The Libertines to Declan McKenna, clearly understood the assignment: the guitars bite, the drums hit with intent, and the whole thing moves like it has somewhere to be.
What keeps it from being a straightforward kiss-off is the twist — by the bridge, the pointed finger turns back on itself. The narrator admits they're probably just as bad. It's a small moment, but it gives the track more dimension than a pure diss track would have, and the self-awareness lands without deflating the energy.
Fresh off a US run taking in SXSW, LA and The New Colossus Festival in New York, Sweet Unrest are clearly moving with some purpose in 2026. More singles are due through the year.
