About Me

Bitch Cassidy is the project of songwriter Shawn Sullivan. Hailing from New York, Shawn has built a reputation for creating hook-laden rock songs . Bitch Cassidy has already been creating quite a buzz online receiving thousands of song plays and downloads and multiple pre-sales for their debut EP "The Gift and the Sickness". After a brief tour of the UK & US the band is in preperation to record a follow up LP entitled "Professional Victims" in the Fall of 2006.
"The Gift and The Sickness - **CD review** Songsmiths Mike Borgia and Shawn Sullivan have already been involved with music for quite some time but "The Gift And The Sickness" is their first release under the name Bitch Cassidy. Lemme just get it out... the six songs on this EP completely blew me away. They rock from beginning to end with tons of awesome melodic action. They remind me of some of the better rock outfits that came out in the nineties and that you just don't hear enough anymore these days. Wish every release I review sprung from the same passion for music and professionalism as "The Gift And The Sickness". Thomas - PunkRockTheory.com {UK
The level of musicianship and professionalism found on their debut EP is incredibly rare for an unsigned band. Bitch Cassidy could slide right into rotation nearly anywhere and not for one second sound out of place. Thats not to say its unoriginal or derivative, quite the opposite. Its simplistic rock music, but the honesty and depth set it light years apart". AJ - Kings of A&R
