Sydney Sweeney is gaining recognition in Hollywood, inspiring bands like Ken Carson and the indie-rock group Smut. Smut's song 'Syd Sweeney' addresses the pressures on young actresses. Lead singer Tay Roebuck's lyrics reflect empathy towards Sweeney’s experiences, commenting on the industry's exploitation of female sexuality. Smut’s third album, Tomorrow Comes Crashing, showcases a heavier sound compared to their previous work, blending influences from '90s guitar tones with pop punk elements. Roebuck's admiration for My Chemical Romance influences her passionate performance and emotional delivery in the music.
Smut's 'Syd Sweeney' rails against the culture that turns young actresses into household names, then rips them to shreds after they employ their sexuality onscreen.
'Poised for production/Made in your idol image/You strip me down to feel good,' Tay Roebuck sings, identifying with Sydney Sweeney's plight.
Tomorrow Comes Crashing retains sculpted Clinton-era guitar tones but takes influence from poppier touchstones like Green Day and My Chemical Romance.
Roebuck has cited loving My Chemical Romance for 'the singing and the theatrics of it all,' fueling her emotional performance in Smut's music.
