Pretty Sick

Despite the band's long presence and tight-knit fanbase, especially on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, it is only in recent years that they have garnered recognition from major national publications such as i-D, Nylon, and Pigeons and Planes. In May 2020, Pretty Sick signed to the British record label Dirty Hit, known for acts such as The 1975 and beabadoobee. The group has primarily performed throughout the greater New York City area and more recently around London.

In February 2021, the band produced the theme song to the ongoing variety series, Story of my Fucking Life, created by Manon Macasaet.

The band's debut album, Makes Me Sick Makes Me Smile, was released on Dirty Hit on September 30, 2022. It embarked on a North American tour in support of the album in 2022.

Sabrina Fuentes acted in the 2023 film Salamander Days.

In June 2026, the band released "home2hide" as a single for their second album Anarchy. The album is scheduled to release on September 11, 2026.

On August 23, 2026, "Human Condition" appeared during the end credits of the second episode of the HBO/HBO Max series Lanterns.

Pretty Sick's music is now primarily rooted in alternative-rock, grunge, riot grrrl, and post-punk, while their earlier music was considered far more indie-rock. Over the years, the production style has become increasingly gritty and dark.

Their music videos are equally notable for their transgressive nature, marked by bloody car-crashes, operating rooms, and erotic aggression.
