Welcome to the Real World

Sick Puppies

Raw, bass-heavy Australian post-grunge. A restless debut defined by Emma Anzai's percussive slap-bass and Shim Moore's unpolished, defiant vocal energy.

It's the raw, bass-slapping Australian garage version of the band before they went Hollywood.

A restless and aggressive burst of youthful defiance anchored by heavy rhythmic grooves.
