Combining creative songwriting, quirky time signatures, and all the brash artiness of '90s indie rock, singer/guitarist Sadie Dupuis, bassist Darl Ferm, drummer Mike Falcone, and guitarist Matt Robidoux formed the group Speedy Ortiz in 2012. Based in Northampton, Massachusetts, the four-piece worked day jobs (as a college writing instructor, a guitar teacher, a librarian, and a burger stand employee) while playing shows in and around N.Y.C.'s five burroughs and recording their debut EP Sports. In June of 2012, Exploding in Sound released that EP, and in 2013, their first full-length, Major Arcana, was released by Carpark Records.
