"There's No Going Back" by Sick Puppies

Sick Puppies are a modern hard rock trio from Australia that formed in the late 90s. Their knack for blending gritty, crushing guitar with memorable choruses earned them a strong fan base, but it took about a decade for them to get some deserved airplay in the US. The band finally made a showing on the US charts in 2011 when "Maybe" reached #56. The song comes from their 2010 record, "Tri-Polar," which remains one of their best from start to finish and probably one of the most underrated albums in the genre.

The band dramatically shifted their sound with their follow-up album, 2013's "Connect." Personally, I think their infusion of more radio-friendly pop and acoustic guitars into the usual thunderous sound worked well, but it got the band mixed reviews. "There's No Going Back" is just one of many highlights from this terrific effort.

The lead singer and the rest of the band parted ways after "Connect." The band recruited a new singer for 2016's release, "Fury."
