The band originated in 2011 as Sadie Dupuis' solo project while she was teaching songwriting at a summer camp, recording her own material using her laptop.
"Resurrects the floppy-stringed guitar dissonance of old-school Boston bands like Kudgel and Swirlies, or Rob Crow from Pinback's predecessor Thingy, who forged similar anti-anthems out of the grimiest chords." - Boston Globe. TL;DR. DTF. 10" EP, 'Sports,' out on Exploding in Sound Records. 'Major Arcana' out on Carpark Records; 'Real Hair' EP followed in February 2014.

Lucky 88
Speedy Ortiz Lyrics
I make a frown
I always wear it upside down
'Cause life is carnage
I once was lost, but now I'm floundered
And running late for my funerary date
Burn me later, could you smile while you do it?
I don't care anymore
Swear I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore
Swear I don't care anymore
I was born with a lucky 88 on my door
Put down your last claim to fame for me, boy
(Keep me starving or get something better started)
Try and work in this town
Without a silver spoon and foot in your mouth
You see that lucky 88 on my door
One more time with reeling
You siphoned out the feeling
Can't you act responsibly?
You're the sick pup who created me
Burn out and fade
I'll convalesce you right into the grave
Though I don't care anymore
Swear I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore
Swear I don't care anymore
I was born with a lucky 88 on my door
Put down your last claim to fame for me, boy
(Keep me starving or get something better started)
I was born in the cold, clotted heart of the storm
You see that lucky 88 on my door?
Keep me starving, or get something better started
Keep me starving, or get something stutter started
I was born with the lucky 88 on my door
The lucky 88 on my door
The lucky 88 on my door
The lucky 88
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
I always wear it upside down
'Cause life is carnage
I once was lost, but now I'm floundered
And running late for my funerary date
Burn me later, could you smile while you do it?
I don't care anymore
Swear I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore
I was born with a lucky 88 on my door
Put down your last claim to fame for me, boy
(Keep me starving or get something better started)
Try and work in this town
Without a silver spoon and foot in your mouth
You see that lucky 88 on my door
One more time with reeling
You siphoned out the feeling
Can't you act responsibly?
You're the sick pup who created me
Burn out and fade
I'll convalesce you right into the grave
Though I don't care anymore
Swear I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore
Swear I don't care anymore
I was born with a lucky 88 on my door
Put down your last claim to fame for me, boy
(Keep me starving or get something better started)
I was born in the cold, clotted heart of the storm
You see that lucky 88 on my door?
Keep me starving, or get something better started
Keep me starving, or get something stutter started
I was born with the lucky 88 on my door
The lucky 88 on my door
The lucky 88 on my door
The lucky 88

It sounds more pop than previous songs, but it is still a masterpiece. But I hope they wont lost their rock attitude!
Looking forward to Twerp Verse!
Little Crow Demo's
Brilliant actually - just found out about these guys - i can't wait till they come back to dallas. love this band
Danny Buchanan
The more synthy direction is really different, but it sounds great and it helps to get rid of the "speedy Ortiz is just grunge throwback" thing. Can't say it's immediately falling in love for me but it'll grow on me like most of their songs anyway.
