Sick Thoughts is the music project of Drew Owen, a
multi-instrumentalist who began releasing music under the name as a
teenager in Baltimore. From the outset, Sick Thoughts became known for
its raw intensity and prolific output, blending feral garage punk
energy with a clear reverence for classic KBD-era sounds. All
recordings—performed, recorded, and mixed by Owen himself
Now based in New Orleans, Owen has continued to refine Sick Thoughts
without sacrificing the chaos and urgency that defined its early
years. His songwriting has evolved to embrace sharper melodies and
tighter arrangements, all while remaining unfiltered and aggressive.
The live band has toured extensively across the U.S. and Europe, known
for explosive, high-energy performances that leave no doubt about the
project’s staying power.
In addition to releasing music through respected underground labels
like Goner Records, Total Punk, and Goodbye Boozy Owen also launched
his own label, ROKK Records, further asserting creative control and a
fiercely DIY ethic. With an expansive discography of singles, EPs, and
LPs—and the new "Another Piece of Plastic" mini album on the way—Sick
Thoughts continues to stand as one of the most vital and
uncompromising voices in modern rock.
