Praise for PRETTY SICK
“Youthful and unpredictable edge, careening from grunge-y snarls to softer, slower ballads” – Pigeons & Planes
“Deeply personal, searching, and amelodic” – GARAGE
“Sabrina Fuentes makes growing up in New York City feel like a universal experience” – NYLON

Today, New York City’s Pretty Sick shares the second offering from their forthcoming EP, Comedown. Directed by Manon Macasaet, ‘Bet My Blood‘ stars frontwoman Sabrina Fuentes as the lead nurse in a frenzied emergency room where she treats an array of special medical conditions from stomach butterflies to a broken heart. Of the track, Fuentes says: “The song is sort of a warning about running away from your troubles, shortcomings, obstacles or whatever. If you don’t deal with your demons in this life they’ll follow you to the next.”

COMEDOWN is set to release June 17th via Dirty Hit Records and includes the aforementioned ‘Bet My Blood‘ alongside the first single, ‘Devil In Me.’ The project is the follow up to last year’s EP, DEEP DIVINE, which NYLON called “honest-to-God rock music that’s energizing and sad in a way that cuts through your core with each listen.”
Native New Yorker Sabrina Fuentes formed Pretty Sick when she was just 13-years-old. In addition to Fuentes on bass, Pretty Sick is also drummer Austin Williamson of New York City experimental jazz group Onyx Collective, guitarist Wade Oates, formerly of The Virgins, and bassist Orazio Argentero, whom Fuentes met in her contemporary music program at Goldsmiths University.
In the course of a relatively short, formative span of time in her life, Fuentes has become a vital presence in the youthful New York City scene where skaters, visual artists, rock’n’roll-obsessed teens, and jazz heads all rub shoulders in the wide avenues, shoebox apartments, and galleries of the Lower East Side. Fuentes weaves this creative community into her sometimes raucous, sometimes restrained, and always personal songwriting and visuals. With songs that stem from her pre-teenage years to today, Fuentes’ new music builds on the sound of Pretty Sick’s earlier releases to fully chart the experience of being a teenager in New York City.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
