Coming at you once again and stronger then ever, from Ottawa, Canada, are the Sick Fits with their long-overdue first full-length album. With two killer vinyl singles and one CD single under their belts, these five attitude-filled rock ‘n’ rollers have already carved themselves a strong fan base in both Canada and in the United States. Full Breach Kicks presents: Michael Abraham Hurts on vocals, Kenny James on lead guitar, X-Ray X on guitar, Chase Manhattan on bass, and Oliver Sutherland Victor on drums.

Here on their debut album, the Sick Fits change and tighten it up, moving away from the spastic Killed by Death punk tunes played in earlier days, this time turning us on to some seriously catchy, pre-punk styled rock ‘n’ roll jams, bringing to mind a revved-up T. Rex, Stones, or Stooges for the rebel rock ‘n’ roll generation of today. Previous fans and new ones alike will find it impossible to deny the stylized heavy-hitter “Every Day is Sunday”, the soulful pop fury of “Shapes”, the powerful “Fruit of the Beast”, and the melodic slow-groove charm of “House Boy”. Here the band dabbles in Southern soul, bitter-sweet pop, British glam, and early American blues, all with a continuing grasp on their punk roots. Produced by Paul Fenton of ‘70s Canadian mod band The Action, the Sick Fits debut boasts some of the best, down and dirty 1970s-styled rock ‘n’ roll numbers to be heard in a long, long time. And to further beef up the Sick Fit musical attack, the boys come at us with a fleet of soul singers, a pianist, a saxophonist, a cellist, a tabla player, and a tanpura player. Beat that Marc Bolan! You can bet your best liquor-stained tonic suit, these songs are a hundred times more inspired then any of the retro rock nonsense on the radio today – take it from us!

Discover now with the Sick Fits’ ten-song CD and eleven-song vinyl LP (yes that’s right folks, an extra track for you vinyl lovers!) what all the crazy kids have been talking about and why folks such as Sleazegrinder have raved that these boys are “playing strangled, mangled rock ‘n’ roll with it’s heart lost somewhere in 1977 and it’s guts lying in a pile on the floor. Canada rocks okay man.”
