Without doubt or qualification, The Sadies are one of this continent’s greatest extant rock ’n’ roll bands – just as they have been for more than a quarter-century. Versatile and imaginative, they skip from astral psychedelia to shuffling bucolics and leap from puckish pop to righteous garage-rock without losing momentum or mastery. Their albums deliver masterclasses on pointed songwriting, lockstep harmonies, and a devil-may-care attitude to expectations and past successes.

Listen to The Sadies’ brand new single, “Stop and Start” produced by Richard Reed Parry of Arcade Fire.
