Pretty Sick is a New York City rock band fronted by singer, bassist, and songwriter Sabrina Fuentes, who formed it when she was just 13. Known for over a decade of riot grrrl and grunge, the band is now signaling a turn toward electronic music with the new single "home2hide," the first taste of the album Anarchy, due later this year.
From teenage band to NYC underground mainstay
Fuentes has been running Pretty Sick since she was a teenager, and the band spent years building a cult following in New York's underground rock scene. The sound that earned that following was rooted in riot grrrl and grunge: distorted, raw, and loud.
What is "home2hide"?
"home2hide" is where that changes. The single swaps the distortion for trance synths, with production from some of the biggest names in electronic music, and it might be the best thing Fuentes has ever put out, the kind of song that ends up on repeat before you notice. As the first look at Anarchy, it hints that Pretty Sick's next era could sound very different from the last one.
