Sweet Water is an American rock band from Seattle, Washington. 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-tiled album 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 susidiary 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.

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 report an album in the works.

In a recent Seattle Weekly article, bassist Cole Peterson, described the bands upcoming tour. "Its gonna be off the hook!" Sweet Water will begin touring with Stone Temple Pilots later this year. 2008
