Reviews And Opinions Of Sick 'Em
As most of you already know about the death of guitarist Stefanie Sargent last summer, I
shan't dwell on the details. While 7 Year Bitch manage to avoid the traditional "Seattle" sound,
Stefanie couldn't escape the traditional Seattle jones.
But the remaining three members have found a new guitarist and are forging forward. This
album combines material recorded last spring with their previous 7" and EP.
Their snarling punk attack is refreshing, and they're good, not just because they're women.
After all, in a blind sonic test, they compare favorably to male punk bands. The songs at times have
a distinctly female point of view, but is that any different than the mostly male...
Okay, off the soap box. You just play this album, not because the guitarist overdosed or
because it's trendy "foxcore" (what a stupid term). Play it because it is one of the best releases out.
