SICK PUPPIES http://www.sickpuppies.net With infectious tunes, a jaw-dropping stage show and equal doses of hits and hugs, Sick Puppies are striking a blow against the horde of faceless modern rock bands that are virtually all the same. Citing Rage Against the Machine, Green Day, and Silverchair as influences, Sick Puppies have created their own aggressive sound composed of aching vocals, melancholy acoustics and triumphant guitar licks.
