To celebrate its 35th birthday, The Sick Rose releases a new studio album! SOMEPLACE BETTER is the groups seventh LP, and this time the record was produced by American singer, songwriter, producer Ken Stringfellow (R.E.M., Posies, Big Star, Markey Ramone Band). For the first time, the band has recorded only originals. The eleven songs are the sum of all The Sick Roses musical influences - from the Garage Rock of the early days, to the RnR of the 2nd album Shaking Street, on to the Power Pop characterising the groups later records. The new album is partly inspired by the sound of bands from the early 1980s, such as Records, 20/20 and Shoes.
