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]

Critical reception and legacy

[edit]

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]
