About Speedy Ortiz
Artist Biography
Driven by gnarled guitars and Sadie Dupuis' literate yet vulnerable lyrics, Speedy Ortiz brings the brash, arty defiance of '90s indie rock into the 21st century. The band began as the solo project of singer/songwriter/guitarist Dupuis, who released lo-fi efforts like 2011's The Death of Speedy Ortiz, but as the group's lineup fleshed out, so did their sound. Their acclaimed 2013 debut studio album Major Arcana added more heft to their music while calling to mind Pavement and Liz Phair. While their music grew more polished, Speedy Ortiz remained committed to activism, frequently donating the proceeds of their releases and tours to progressive charities and creating their most directly political album with 2018's Twerp Verse. On 2023's alt-metal and electronic-influenced Rabbit Rabbit, Speedy Ortiz continued to deliver musically and emotionally challenging songs bolstered by a wealth of hooks and choruses.
