Hardcore trio Sick Puppy came together at the height of the pandemic when 3 artists & friends found themselves stuck together in a downtown St. John’s house. With little else to do, Iso McKenna doubled down on her newfound interest in playing guitar, while Allison Graves (a long time drummer) picked up bass for the first time. Perpetual rock hustler Jacob Cherwick was quick to encourage that the 3 begin writing and rehearsing new material. Together they crafted a collection of songs that, while drawing from a vast set of influences, all centre around a desire for minimal flair & maximum rock & roll.
