Sick Puppies started in Sydney in 1997, the work of bassist Emma Anzai and singer and guitarist Shimon Moore, and they had a debut album out by 2001. What made their name wasn't a single at all but a video: in 2006 "All the Same" soundtracked the Free Hugs Campaign clip, and it racked up tens of millions of views. The song itself is a slow-burning, gut-level post-grunge anthem, and it anchored Dressed Up as Life in 2007.

Tri-Polar, in 2009, turned the amps up and the attitude with them. "You're Going Down" is a pure adrenaline rush, "Odd One" snarls and lurches, and "Maybe" dials things back into a big, open-hearted ballad.

Moore left the band on bitter terms in 2014, and Bryan Scott stepped in to replace him. Anzai kept the band going, and the most recent Sick Puppies album, Wave the Bull, arrived in March 2025.
