Stamford, CT's Sicboy delivers their own smart, yet sa**y brand of modern rock, plucking from their influences like Elliott Smith, Deftones, Radiohead, Helmet, and Portishead. Formed in 1996 in Stamford, Connecticut, Sicboy is comprised of singer/songwriter John Tate, guitarists Danny Frattaroli and Ant Valenzisi, ba**ist Drew Trudeau, and drummer Chris Trudeau. To incorporate more of an eclectic twist to their sound, Sicboy also calls upon the mixing sk**s of turntable headhunter Todd Emmerson. The band issued their debut album Artificial Flavors in the fall of 2000 on Toronto's Attack Records & Filmworks followed by the independent EP releases, Tease in 2002 and the appropriately titled 2004 two years later. ~ MacKenzie Wilson & Al Campbell, All Music Guide
