Four years have passed since Australia’s Sick Puppies relocated to Los Angeles, and took the world by storm with their song, “All The Same.” The video for the track, which was shot in a Sydney shopping mall with their friend holding up a hand-written placard offering “Free Hugs,” was seen by over 43 million viewers on YouTube alone, spurring six-figure sales of their major label debut, Dressed Up As Life.

Now, primed by almost three straight years of touring, playing before thousands at festivals and generally living in rock and roll’s fast lane, vocalist/guitarist Shimon Moore, his high school classmate, bassist Emma Anzai, and drummer Mark Goodwin, an Orange County native who answered an ad in Craig’s List to join the band, Sick Puppies are back with their eagerly awaited follow-up, Tri-Polar.

Produced again by the hit team of Rock Mafia’s Antonina Armato and Tim James, Tri-Polar reflects the band’s grueling travels on the road, along with the frustrations that build up along the way, on songs like the first single, “You’re Going Down,” which was utilized by the WWE as the theme song in its 2009 promotional spots.

“That Time Of Year” is an introspective track that is exclusive to NCIS: The Official TV Soundtrack – Vol. 2, and will be featured in a season 7 episode of NCIS.
