Sick of Sarah is a rock music band based in Minneapolis. Their "strong-voiced punky girl-rock"[3] has drawn comparisons to bands such as Dollyrots and Tegan and Sara.[4]

History

The band formed in 2005 with Abisha Uhl (lead vocals and guitar), Katie Murphy (vocals and lead guitar), Jessie Farmer (bass and vocals), and Brooke Svanes (drums). The inspiration for the band's name came from a former roommate of Uhl's named Sarah who had grown tired of her name, complaining that she was "sick of Sarah".[5]

When Jamie Holm joined Sick of Sarah as a bassist in 2008, Farmer switched to playing guitar.[6] Later that same year, the band was chosen as the "best emerging artist" at Summerfest.[7] After Svanes left Sick of Sarah in 2010, Jessica Forsythe replaced her on drums.
