A Taste:

Rage Against the Machine, Sevendust, My Chemical Romance

Sick Puppies‘ latest offering, Tri-Polar, is an incendiary and infectious collection of hard rock tunes. The Puppies balance melody and mayhem perfectly over the course of the album’s 12 epic tracks. Pop Tri-Polar in, crank it up and be ready to be blown away by one of the finest rock trios from down under.

Bassist Emma Anzai and drummer Mark Goodwin shared their collective playlist with ARTISTdirect.com for this exclusive feature. Check it out below and pick up Tri-Polar for the perfect ass-kickin’.

Emma Anzai and Mark Goodwin’s Playlist:

1. Foo Fighters — “Pretender”

This is a great video! They always seem to have interesting and memorable videos.

2. My Chemical Romance — “Famous Last Words”

Just a great song—we played an Australian festival called “Big Day Out” with them, and I’ll always remember how this song went off.

3. Rage Against The Machine — “Bulls On Parade”

This band has the best grooves on the planet! Also this is the song we come out on stage to.

4. Sevendust — “Face to Face”

We played a festival with them recently, and they played this song last, great song.

5. Soundgarden — “Spoonman”

This song also has a great groove, legendary song, love it. I tried to play this song when I started out playing bass, needless to say it was a workout!
