God appeared before me in a dream last night. He told me what my purpose for being on this planet was. To spread the word that there are pop-punk bands actually worth listening to.

Sicko, a three piece from Washington, is pop-punk at it's best. Sometimes deep, sometimes funny,always catchy. This album has fast,mid-tempo, and slow songs. All are extremely well written and each member of Sicko are good musicians.They also use the Ramones style of recording the bass through the right speaker and the guitars through the left. "MySon","Sprinkler","Sprawling","Where I Live", and "Beam Me Up Denny" are my favorite songs, along with their cover of the Indigo Girls' 'Closer to Fine'. I heard somewhere that Sicko has broken up, but I haven't heard anything to back that up.

Pop-punk isn't idiots bouncing around on MTV smashing stuff to quirky guitar lines. It IS a good type of music, that has been under alot of fire lately. Before you write off pop-punk, check out Sicko. Why?.... 'cause God said so.

This is a band that should not be overlooked. They Were original and wrote from their hearts. Most People write them off as pop punk but i think they're better than that.Ean(singer)is now in tales from the birdbath(Also On Empty Records)

Yes, Sicko broke up a few years back, this was their last album. It is a doozy, though, and if you like Sicko at all, you'll LOVE Zoinks!. Go get their album "Bad Move, Space Cadet" on Dr. Strange Records. It has some of the worst artwork and best pop-punk songs you'll ever see and hear.
