Sit Resist is the second album by American rock band Laura Stevenson & The Cans. [2] [3] The album was released by Don Giovanni Records in 2011. [4]
As a result of the 2020 reissue, Sit Resist garnered newfound retrospective acclaim. That year, Matt Wallock of American Songwriter praised it as a "superbly scrappy [and] heartfelt" album "that feels more vivid - and determined - with every listen." [5]
Sit Resist was mentioned in BrooklynVegan 's 10th anniversary retrospective covering post-hardcore music's "new wave" in 2011. It was recognized alongside various other albums released that year that would shift "from being [the genre's] 'new' wave to being as influential as the bands who inspired them". [6]

Screamo is an subgenre of emo that emerged in the early 1990s and emphasizes "willfully experimental dissonance and dynamics". San Diego–based bands Heroin and Antioch Arrow pioneered the genre in the early 1990s, and it was developed in the late 1990s mainly by bands from the East Coast of the United States such as Pg. 99, Orchid, Saetia, and I Hate Myself. Screamo is strongly influenced by hardcore punk and characterized by the use of screamed vocals. Lyrical themes usually include emotional pain, death, romance, and human rights. The term "screamo" has frequently been mistaken as referring to any music with screaming.
