about

To celebrate its 35th birthday, The Sick Rose releases a new studio album! “Someplace Better” is the group’s seventh LP, and this time the record was produced by American singer, songwriter, producer Ken Stringfellow (R.E.M., Posies, Big Star).
For the first time, the band has recorded only originals. The eleven songs are the sum of all The Sick Rose’s musical influences − from the Garage Rock of the early days, to the R’n’R of Shaking Street, on to the Power Pop characterising the group’s later records. The new album is partly inspired by the sound of bands from the early 1980s, such as Records, 20/20 and Shoes.
“Someplace Better” comes out of a constant search for new ways of expression, while ignoring transient fashions and knowing always how to be in the right place at the wrong time.

Back In The Day

Another great record from this super stylish trio. This one goes beyond beatlesque without missing the punch of the early days. Check out the split singles with Paul Collins and The Rubinoos!! The Sick Rose

Songs From Another Life
by The Boys With The Perpetual Nervousness

supported by 4 fans who also own “Someplace Better”

The indie pop on Songs From Another Life sounds confident yet delicate, and the strummy and jangly guitars makes me long for spring. Some songs sound like straight up Teenage Fanclub worship, but in a good way. Fans of The Byrds and Big Star will probably dig this as well. Niek || Add To Wantlist
