Sick of Sarah
Homebase: Minneapolis, MN
Here's a fun band that probably gets some asses movin' at the local bars. This all-chick quartet bring the pop-punk angst with not-so-hidden lyrical intent. The guitar work is fantastic - each note is handled with purpose while the drums are meaningful in supporting the song as a whole. The harmonies and vocal accents flesh out the tunes appropriately.
My favorite tunes are "Mr. Incredible" with it's exciting chorus and "Mother Fucker" with it tasteful clash of your-loss-not-mine lyrics and stylish acoustics.
"You know you'll never meet another motherfucker like me", sings Abisha Uhl in that innocent Lisa Loeb type of way.
The only complaint I have for the recording is the bass tone - I think it needs to more flavor and definition, especially since it plays such a vital roll in several tunes.
The last track was recorded live. Without the original recording to go by, it made me dislike this song even more - beyond the fact that it was poorly recorded. I think the audio was taken from a video recording or handheld tape deck. For an EPK that's designed to impress potential fans and promoters, this song does not represent the band very well at all -but don't hold that against them. They're on tour now so go see 'em.
