Sicky returns with “Slide”, a haunting pop-rock journey through restless nights and the struggle to find peace. With its hypnotic refrain and stark, raw imagery, the track captures the push and pull of battling inner storms while searching for a place to belong. Vulnerable, urgent, and emotionally gripping, Slide” is both a personal confession and a search for quiet in chaos.

“Slide” is a track taken from the album “Troubled Delight”, out via Epictronic.

Troubled Delight came together organically in late 2023, each song flowing naturally. Raw and playful, it uses found sounds—from church bells to shopping doors—and features highlights like Jen Bone’s double bass, Rebecca Butler’s vocals on Mankind, and Lily (10) and Scarlet (8) adding punk energy.
Written and produced at home by SICKY, mastered by Charlie Francis, the album is scrappy, joyful, and under three minutes per track.

Brit-pop rock artist Sicky has released a new single, Just Me. The track blends vulnerability with defiance, pairing sharp, vivid lyrics with a driving rock energy. It touches on themes of feeling unseen, carrying scars, and ultimately finding strength in being yourself.

Rather than sinking into self-pity, Just Me stands as a statement of identity. It’s a song that turns isolation into pride, delivered with the edge and honesty that define Sicky’s sound.

Just Me is from SICKY’s album Troubled Delight, released via Epictronic. Recorded mostly at home with raw, simple instrumentation, the album grew organically, featuring unconventional sounds—from makeshift percussion to church bells, shopping centre doors, and a Quatermass and the Pit sample approved by Hammer Films. Scrappy, joyful, and under three minutes per track, Troubled Delight turns life’s highs and lows into relatable, fun music.

Epictronic Records proudly presents the official music video for “I’m Happy if You’re Happy,” a standout track from Sicky’s outstanding album “Troubled Delight”, available now.

Sicky’s “I’m Happy If You’re Happy” gives a playful nod to The Cure’s classic “The Lovecats.” The bassline and production clearly draw from the vibe and energy of that unforgettable track. Sicky hopes this song will have the same kind of lasting charm.

There’s a subtle cat theme running through the song, but it’s really about setting a trap or drawing someone in, not just about cats. If you listen closely, you might hear some cat noises sprinkled in—and, for a fun surprise, Scarlet throws in a random turkey impression.

“Recording the track was a lot of fun and brought a joyful, carefree energy to the process.” Said Sicky

Troubled Delight came together unexpectedly in late 2023, with ideas flowing fast and easy—each song sparking the next. Sicky kept things simple and authentic, recording everything at home and experimenting with unusual percussion instruments found in Lily and Scarlet’s music room. The album is sprinkled with cool field recordings too, from church bells to shopping centre doors and even a spooky Hammer Films sample.

Highlights include the moving track “The Hill,” inspired by a tough 22-mile charity walk, Jen Bone’s warm double bass recorded on the fly, and Rebecca Butler’s angelic vocals on “Mankind.” With every song clocking in under three minutes, Troubled Delight is a scrappy, joyful collection of tunes that hit hard and fast.

Written and produced by Sicky at home and mastered by Charlie Francis, this album is bursting with heart, energy, and an unmistakably DIY vibe that fans of honest, catchy rock will love.

Delight redefines the pop-rock landscape with charm, spontaneity, and unforgettable hooks.

Epictronic is proud to present the latest release from UK Brit-Pop provocateur SICKY, who today shares the lyric video for “Money For The News”, a razor-edged anthem taken from his forthcoming album Troubled Delight, out August 1st, 2025.

With biting lyricism and raw sonic swagger, “Money For The News” slices through the static of modern life. Fueled by disillusionment and bleak wit, the track paints a grim yet magnetic portrait of a media-fueled culture in decay. “No leaders, no truth — just money for the noise,” SICKY croons, backed by gritty instrumentation and a chorus that punches like a broadcast from a world on the brink.

A Black Country native now based in Shropshire, SICKY has been a consistent shape-shifter in the UK music scene. From the brass-laced indie pop of Papa Mantra to the stomping riffs of SUMO, he’s carved out a distinct, genre-blurring path. With Troubled Delight, SICKY delivers a riotous, emotionally-charged collection that draws equally from Britpop swagger, glam-rock theatrics, and punk honesty, capturing the chaos of modern life with twisted charm and infectious hooks.

Troubled Delight will be released soon under Epictronic Records. Stay tuned for more details, and follow SICKY on social media to stay in the loop.

Exciting news for fans of bold, boundary-pushing rock music—SICKY, the vibrant Brit Pop-Rock project, has inked a deal with Epictronic Records for the upcoming album Troubled Delight. This release follows 2022’s Garbage Town and 2021’s Bowling Balls, continuing the tradition of spontaneous, authentic creativity that defines the artist’s signature sound.

SICKY, a Black Country native now based in Shropshire, is no stranger to musical exploration. From the brass-filled pop of Papa Mantra to the gritty stomp of SUMO, SICKY has spent years crafting a rich, diverse musical landscape. Now, with Troubled Delight, he’s leaning into raw, unapologetic energy, delivering a collection of songs that capture life’s highs and lows with refreshing honesty and unfiltered fun.

“The album is an accident, but in the best way,” SICKY explains. “It’s about venting life’s ups and downs—giving you a way to move forward. Music’s the release. It’s better than carrying everything around, right? Hopefully, people can relate to these tracks because, at the end of the day, we’re not all that different. And while there are darker moments in the album, it’s filled with a sense of joy—because you don’t have to write depressing music to talk about hard times.”

With Troubled Delight, SICKY’s approach was simple yet vibrant. Written and produced at home with no grand plans or overthinking, the record comes to life with raw, unpolished instrumentation. Many of the album’s percussion sounds came from unconventional sources, such as music room instruments, a church bell recorded on a phone, sliding shopping center doors, and even a sample from Quatermass and the Pit, kindly approved by Hammer Films.

The album’s creation was a true family affair: Jen Bone contributed double bass to three tracks, Michael’s niece, Rebecca Butler, lent her angelic vocals to “Mankind,” and even 10-year-old Lily and 8-year-old Scarlet joined in with their punk-inspired backing vocals on “I’m Happy If You’re Happy.”
