"Sicbay is what the indie-rockerati have been waiting for since Slint broke up, namely a band that can blow back the hair, deliver a direct sock to the heart, and tweak out the mind all within the same song." - Dusted Magazine.
Funny, too, 'cause Sicbay sounds nothing like Slint. Sicbay's music is jagged, economical - a compact offering of frenetic stabs of asymmetric guitar figures and pop songs mangled by crushed glass. Singer Nick Sakes' (Dazzling Killmen, Colossamite) shifting rhythm guitar courses beneath Dave Erb's fractured leads and Greg Schaal's barebones drumming. Think Minutemen, Polvo, Volcano Suns, Breadwinner, Faraquet, Pitchblende, Jawbox, etc..
