Grrls Who Rock!
Sick of Sarah breathes new
life into riot grrl punk genre
Tired of musicians who pose as punk
rockers but really aren’t? (Ahem, Avril
Lavigne, anyone?) Fret no more, friends—
meet Sick of Sarah.
Formed in 2005, Sick of Sarah is an
all-female punk rock band based in M in
neapolis whose lineup consists of Abisha
Uhl (lead vocals and guitar), Jessie Farmer
(vocals and bass), Katie Murphy (lead
guitar and vocals) and Brooke Svanes
(drums).The band’s sound has been com
pared to Sleater-Kinney, Tegan and Sara
and The Breeders, and fellow female
rockers have piled on the accolades. After
touring with them, Susanna Hoff's of The
Bangles described the band as “girls who
play irresistible punk-infused pop music.”
Heart’s Anne Wilson praised them as
“the real d eal... a true working band who
sing, write and play for real.”
Touring in support of their just released
album 2205, these rockin’chicks play Port
land March 1 at Backspace. One listen to
“Overexposure”—the first single off the
disc—and I was instantly hooked. The
music’s catchy, the guitar riff infectious
and Uhl’s vocal stylings reminiscent of
Shirley Manson of Garbage, my favorite
girl rocker of all time. I found myself bop
ping my head up and down, much to my
roommates’ bewilderment. I assured them
it was work related.
Give Sick of Sarah a try—you’ll be
bop-rocking soon, too.
