SWEET WILLIAM bestehen seit 1986. Gegründet wird die Band von Sänger und Gitarrist Oliver Heuer. 1989 produzieren SW ihr erstes Studioalbum "These Monologues". Die Platte erscheint 1990 auf Vinyl beim Kölner Label Big Noise Rec. Aufgrund der guten Verkaufszahlen steigt das Intresse anderer Plattenfirmen an SW. Der zu seiner Zeit wichtigste Mailorder Versand Malibu schreibt 1991: "Unser heimlicher Bestseller .". 1991 unterschreiben SW einen Vertrag bei Hyperium/ Rough Trade. Es erscheinen die Alben "These Monologues" (CD Wiederveröffentlichung), "Kind Of Strangest Dream" und "Development Through The Years". Die Band spielt in dieser Zeit mehrere Touren durch ganz Europa. 1994 endet die Tour im Londoner Marquee Club.Trotz guter Presse und zahlreichem Airplay kommt es zu Unstimmigkeiten und somit zur Trennung von Hyperium Rec.
1998 erscheint das Album "Show" auf Dion Fortune Rec. Die Platte schafft in den Deutschen Alternativen Charts den Sprung auf Platz 14 und hält sich dort 4 Wochen lang. Nach einigen turbulenten Jahren, gekennzeichnet von diversen Umbesetzungen, haben SW Anfang 2001 wieder zu einer festen Besetzung gefunden. Seit dem sind diverse Alben, sowie EPs auf dem eigenen Label erschienen. Das neue Album "Brighter Than The Sun" wird im Früjahr 2010 bei dem Französischen Label D-Monic rec. erscheinen. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
