Sick of Sarah
High-energy power pop with a punk edge and massive choruses. It is the sound of a basement show that accidentally wrote a radio hit. Perfect for loud road trips.

Sick of Sarah is a Minneapolis-based all-female rock band formed in 2005, primarily associated with the power pop and indie rock scenes of the Upper Midwest. Their sound identity is built on a foundation of 'strong-voiced punky girl-rock,' characterized by dual-guitar arrangements and high-energy vocal harmonies.
7 million downloads and earning them the title of one of the most torrented bands of the era. This 'spam album' phenomenon provided a massive, albeit unconventional, global reach. Musically, they bridge the gap between the 90s riot grrrl influence and the more polished pop-rock of the 2000s. Critical consensus highlights their infectious hooks and the chemistry of the original lineup, particularly the interplay between lead singer Abisha Uhl and lead guitarist Katie Murphy. They occupy a vital space in the queer rock canon, often compared to Tegan and Sara or The Dollyrots for their ability to weaponize pop structures with a punk attitude.
