Artsick is an indie pop band from Oakland/Seaside California. Artsick was formed by Riley Riley of the late Burnt Palms with Mario Hernandez of Kids On A Crime Spree on drums and originally featured Donna McKean of Lunchbox on bass. Words from Slumberland Records: “Artsick's debut album "Fingers Crossed" is a thrilling, compelling and downright fun record that surveys a vast swathe of indie and indiepop history, from DIY progenitors like Dolly Mixture through the punkier side of C86 (think Talulah Gosh, Fat Tulips) to the 90s K Records-centered International Pop Underground and straight through more recent exemplars like Vivian Girls and Colleen Green. It's all brought to life by Riley's songwriting as she crafts tunes that are as new-sounding as they are timeless, full of melodic twists and sharp, honest lyrics.”
