Adam Sweet Releases Third Studio Album ‘Mortuary Blues’
The album takes its name from the unlikely recording space where much of the work was completed. Adam bought a derelict Victorian mortuary building
"'Mortuary Blues' will be available on all major digital platforms," — Adam Sweet
The album was tracked live with his touring band (Garry Kroll on drums, Paddy Blight on bass and Tom Hughes on organ) at Momentum Studios in Plymouth with Josiah J Manning at the controls, before being brought back to The Mortuary Studio for overdubs, vocals and mixing. The album was produced and mixed by Adam and mastered by Alex McCollough at True East Mastering in Nashville.
Two singles have been released from the album so far. 'Backstop', a co-write with Nashville-based hit songwriter Hugh Moffatt, was released at the start of 2026 and has received extensive radio play across Blues, Roots and Country radio stations. "One of the year's best singles so far" – w21 Music
The latest single, 'The Mortuary Blues', has just been released and is already receiving strong support from UK Independent Blues Broadcasters, as well as being playlisted on Joe Bonamassa's 'Cutting Edge Blues' Spotify playlist.
'Mortuary Blues' will be available on all major digital platforms, Bandcamp and directly from adamsweetmusic.com.

The band returns to Europe not long after being a headliner for K-INDIE ON FESTIVAL 2026 IN BERLIN
"PARANOIA is finally out in the world, and we wish you show it a lot of love. I'm also really looking forward to the UK and Europe tour. There's the curiosity of going somewhere we haven't been, and especially the thought of going to the UK, the home of band music, makes it even more exciting. I hope we can put on our best shows together with our fans in Europe as well." – SANI
PARANOIA is a new style of hard rock that blends various strains of rock music into CATCH THE YOUNG's own sound. The song is about overcoming fear and doubt, believing in yourself, and stepping into a new world. It captures the courage to keep moving forward, pushing beyond your limits, and reaching for the light. PARANOIA marks a new direction for the band, moving beyond their pop-alternative roots and embracing a more anthemic rock sound.
"PARANOIA is a bold, energetic track. Thinking about performing it with all of our fans at the shows already gets my heart racing. I really want to play it live as soon as possible, so please listen to PARANOIA, and I hope you give it lots of love." – NAMHYUN
Not long after the release of their new single, the band will embark on their UK and European tour, CATCH THE YOUNG 2026 EUROPE TOUR IGNITE EVOLVE. It will kick off in November in partnership with European live performance platform FRONTROW. The tour gives European audiences their first chance to hear the new release live. Further details of the tour will be announced through the band's official channels.
