Sic Alps was an American garage rock band, known for its lo-fi aesthetic and psychedelic influences. Formed in San Francisco in 2004, the band was primarily composed of notable members Mike Donovan and Matthew Hartman, both veterans of the indie music scene. Their signature sound featured distorted guitars, raw vocals, and an experimental approach to songwriting. Sic Alps made a significant contribution to the mid-2000s garage rock revival, with influential works that include their 2008 album "U.S. EZ" and 2011's "Napa Asylum".
