Story of Sick Puppies

Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Sick Puppies emerged onto the music scene in 1997. Their debut album, Welcome to the Real World, dropped in 2001, but it was their 2006 YouTube upload of "All the Same," a video supporting Juan Mann`s Sydney-based Free Hugs Campaign, that catapulted them to international recognition. The video amassed over 78 million views, solidifying their status. This viral success paved the way for their sophomore effort, Dressed Up as Life (2007), which cracked the Billboard 200 at #181. Tri-Polar (2009) and Connect (2013) followed, cementing their place in the rock world. However, their fifth studio album, Fury (2016), marked a significant change with the addition of new vocalist Bryan Scott following the departure of original frontman Shimon Moore in October 2014.

History

Early Career (1997-1999)

The band`s genesis was as unlikely as it was iconic: a double-booking in the music room at Mosman High School in 1997, pitting singer/guitarist Shimon Moore against bassist Emma Anzai. Their initial squabble quickly gave way to a shared passion for Silverchair, leading to impromptu jams covering Green Day, Rage Against the Machine, and their mutual heroes. Initially with Shimon on drums and Emma on guitar, this unlikely pairing eventually found their voice, crafting their own unique brand of rock and roll.
