History
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. Two releases resulted from this solo endeavor, the Cop Kicker EP, and the album, The Death of Speedy Ortiz. The project expanded into a full band in late 2011. The group independently released "Taylor Swift" b/w "Swim Fan," recorded by Paul Q Kolderie, which was followed by 2012's Sports, released on Exploding in Sound Records.
Their debut album, Major Arcana, was released on Carpark Records in 2013. The album was well received. Pitchfork Media deemed the album "Best New Music."
In 2014, guitarist Matt Robidoux was replaced by fellow Massachusetts musician Devin McKnight of Grass is Green. On January 21, 2015, Dupuis announced their second studio album, Foil Deer, which was released on April 21, 2015.
2015 was a break out year for Speedy Ortiz, as Foil Deer was met with critical praise. Pitchfork noted in their review of the album, 'The album is ferocious and visceral, the lyrics gleaming with threads involving sharp blades both literal and figurative...As Dupuis grows more self-possessed, she and her band mates veer into their most ambitious compositions to date." Also in 2015 Speedy Ortiz cleaned up in the top three categories of The Boston Music Awards , including artist, album/EP (“Foil Deer”), and song of the year (“Raising the Skate”). They also won for best charitable effort for donating net proceeds from their latest tour to the Girls Rock Camp Foundation. Foil Deer, which was recorded over three weeks at producer Nicolas Vernhe's Rare Book Room studio in Brooklyn, earned the band the title of Noisey's Artist of the year for 2015. On the band, Noisey says: "They exist to give back to their community. They exist to empower you. They exist to make you put your fist in the air. The band embodies what the genre of punk rock started out as—powerful guitars and a dominant stage presence—but have also brought along the bold message that no matter who you are or what you’re feeling, you’re OK."
Speedy Ortiz have toured with Thurston Moore, The Breeders, Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks and Ex Hex.
The song "No Below" has been taken for the soundtrack of the Square Enix game Life is strange: Before the storm.
