Despite the band's long presence and tight-knit fanbase, especially in the Lower East Side area, it is only in recent years that they have garnered recognition from major national publications such as i-D[2], Nylon (magazine)[3], and Pigeons and Planes[4]. In May 2020, Pretty Sick signed to the British record label Dirty Hit, known for acts such as The 1975 and beabadoobee. Through the winter of 2020, the group toured internationally, starting throughout the greater New York City area and ending at the Bermondsey Social Club in London[4][5].
In February 2021, the band produced the theme song to the ongoing variety series "Story of my Fucking Life", directed by model and multi-media artist Manon Macasaet[6].
Artistry[edit]
Pretty Sick's music is now primarily rooted in alternative-rock, grunge, riot grrrl, and post-punk[7], while their earlier music was considered far more indie-rock[8]. Over the years, the production style has become increasingly gritty and dark.
Their music videos are equally notable for their transgressive nature, marked by bloody car-crashes[9], operating rooms[10], and sexualized torture[11], to list a few.
