artist The Sicks

"Don't bore us, get to the chorus!" With a motto cribbed from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and a style all their own, The Sicks have been barn-storming the Vancouver music scene as of late. Difficult to pigeonhole, the band's' sound references a diversity of styles, from down and out country rockers to rum flavored island grooves. The tie that binds it all together is an emotional honesty and no-nonsense approach to song-craft that will keep their tunes playing in your head for days.

After releasing their debut full length album in August 2009, the band has been hard at work winning over crowds with heartfelt and energetic performances, and having a blast in the process.   This nose to the grindstone attitude and relentless pursuit of a good time are starting to pay off, as The Sicks have been generating some great press, and have just had their song "We Need More Reggae" added to the playlist at The Shore 104.1 FM in Vancouver.   

Recent success comes as no surprise to the band members; The Sicks have never been afraid to think big.  From actually pulling off a Mexican mini-tour as a fledgling cover band to drawing 2000 people to their 3rd annual Canada Day fundraiser last summer, they always strive to take things to the next level.  Continuing with their grandiose schemes, the coming months will see The Sicks sell out their legendary “Sicksmas” holiday bash, begin tracking songs for their sophomore release, and hit the road to further spread gospel of good times – peppered with a healthy dose of rock n’ roll.
