Unlike most people, I was not introduced to Sick Puppies by the "Free hugs" song; I was actually just listening to a local radio station and "You're Going Down" came on, it being the first single from "Tri-Polar". Needless to say, I cranked it up and immediately went to work finding out who this band was. And boy, I'm glad I did!
As "You're Going Down" got more airtime closer to the release of "Tri-Polar", I found myself becoming more and more addicted to that song, pretty much to the point I couldn't get out of my head. So doing some research and actually purchasing their first album, "Dressed Up As Life", I could hardly wait to see what these Australian rockers came up with.
From song one of the album, "War", Shimon Moore's infectious vocals dig deep, and they don't let go until the last note of "White Balloons". This is especially true in such songs as "Should've Known Better" and "Don't Walk Away" -- definately some fine pieces of work here! But as a whole, the entire album is a great listen. There really isn't a single song you need to skip. In fact, you'll probably find yourself hitting the repeat button once or twice!
So for someone who loves this kind of music and had never known about this band until now, I'd recomment this album, and especially this band to anyone who likes any kind of rock or grunge. For as much generic-rock that's out there, it's nice to know there's a few albums that still come out and are exceptional, if not to the point of being elite!

I remember getting into the Sick Puppies by mistake. Two years two of my friends and I went to see Chevelle in concert and the Sick Puppies just happened to open for them and I'm glad they did. The Puppies easily tore the place down and after the show it was amazing to meet these three very grounded, amazing artists.
I won't lie, before I bought "Tri-Polar" on Tuesday I was nervous because I enjoyed "Dressed Up As Life" so much and was hoping they'd not let down, you know, the "sophmore slump." One of the same friends who was with me at the show listened to the CD with me for the first time and we loved it from the start. Shim's guitar work is amazing, Emma's bass is sexy and Mark's drums are very solid.
Shim's vocals shine again, as do Emma's in the background and even getting the co-staring role in "White Balloons." I love "Tri-Polar" as much as I did "Dressed Up As Life" but don't expect the same CD, it's a big step up from a maturing band. Standout tracks (for me) include "Riptide", "So What I Lied", "Should've Known Better" and many more.
So buy "Tri-Polar" and support this amazing band. At least do it for them.

This Aussie band has tremendously impressed ne. Their songs evoke a plethora of issues their age, my age and in-between can relate to. They are incredibly talented and they share that with their audience. "I hate you" is a hymn to ambivalence in the language of new rock whereas "You're going down" is the perfect radio single.Although hard rock oriented, you smell the teenage and beyond angst.My favorite is White Ballons!

New Music (to me) worth a listen
I am constantly sampling music from newer bands, to see what I like, and what I don't. You hardly ever hear more than one song, once or twice, from any band on the radio. Read more

Solid Performance High Energy For Just Three Members
Saw these guys at ROTR in Columbus and I was impressed with their energy for just three band members. I received the album for Father's Day and I am enjoying the album very much.
