About this user

"Sadie Hell are just one of many examples of why the Ottawa independent music scene may be one of the best kept musical secrets in this country."
~ March 2010. NxEW

"a record of substance and style ... No frills, no fancy pants bullshit; just fantastic." ~ March 2010. QuickBeforeItMelts

"Along comes Sadie Hell which now ranks right up there and is certainly the best album Ive heard this year." ~ March, 2010. Lysten

The music of Sadie Hell is a little difficult to put your finger on. Welland's voice is unique and is, for the most part, soft but don't be fooled, there's a hard side too. He can belt/scream out of nowhere. Sadie Hell's sound is almost breaking the boundary between punk and indie rock music. It teeters a little bit towards indie rock but definitely has some subtle punk rock elements layered within it." ~ February 2010. Beyond Robson

"Vancouver Islanders may be used to Ottawa sending us hell. But this is hell of a different kind." ~ February 2010. Cowichan News Leader

"Coming from the focused energy of punk, it was as if a musical atom were split: an intricate explosion of sounds, some mellow, some raucous, some stunningly gorgeous - but all blending together to make a majestic record." ~ February 2010, NxEW

"an ambitious album of such varied sounds and textures, all of them underscored with ardent, almost plaintive vocals and a driven approach to craft, that to classify the music would do a disservice to the band's willingness to explore a diversity of approaches." ~ February 2010, Hour

"Quiet and contemplative at times, lush and orchestral at others, the willingness to stradle and traverse a wide variety of styles is the band's real strength and one that makes this record such a joy to discover." ~ February 2010. Ottawa Xpress

"riotous orchestration and roller coaster progression" "Attempting to describe Sadie Hell's sound concisely is like trying to put a cream puff through a key-hole." ~ February 2010, 24 Hours

"cathartiques" "mélancoliques" "glorieux" ~ January 2010, Voir

"Is Sadie Hell chamber pop? Not sure precisely where that line starts and ends, but there is something lush about the Ottawa band's music" ~ January 2010, The Ottawa Citizen

"Even if Welland likes to dabble in different sounds and styles, it's clear that he's bringing them all together with one singular vision in mind. It's an ambitious goal, but, as Welland and his bandmates show throughout Sadie Hell, it's one that the band is more than capable of pulling off" ~ January 2010, i(heart)music

"a well-seasoned Ottawa act" ~ January 2010, DharmaArts

"The timbre and tonal qualities of his music are constantly shifting, but the vocals and guitar work remain unmistakably, Sadie Hell. Its a brand thats becoming more recognizable, associated not with a particular sound, but with a distinctive feeling." ~ December 2009, Ottawa Tonite

"a band that redeems screamo from its petulant, ninny-rock origins and writes it large and choral" ~ December 2009, The Ottawa Citizen

"easy-to-listen-to but hard-to-classify" ~ December 2009, Ottawa Sun

"a disarming mix of musical energy, by turns punk, abstract, melodic and orchestral—all tied together with Welland's impassioned vocals and distinctive guitar. You can hear and admire the meticulousness in Sadie Hell." ~ December 2009, Guerilla

"Sadie Hell's self-titled debut LP is a remarkable display of anguished/angelic howls and grandiose guitar work decorated with a multitude of strings, brass, polyrhythms and allusions that often journey into the seven-minute mark." ~ December 2009, Exclaim!

"expect the unexpected; expect to be blown away." ~ December 2009, Ottawa Xpress

"the unpredictability makes people turn their eyes toward the stage the whole thing's a spectacular bender" ~ August 2009, The Ottawa Citizen

"bearer of a powerful voice and the look of a Maori doing the Haka when he hits those emotional highs" ~ April 2008, Exclaim!

"dark and mellow and expressive" ~ June 2008, Nepean This Week

"Sadie Hell got things off to an appropriately dramatic start, as vocalist Ben Wellands beautiful strumming and guttural howl felt perfect in the enclosed, and somewhat creepy, setting" ~ April 2007, Exclaim!

"huge with key changes, disconnected parts and hollers a kind of Bohemian Rhapsody for the post-screamo set" ~ March 2007, The Ottawa Citizen

"emotionally raw, cello-laden" ~ November 2006, Ottawa Xpress.
