The band was founded in Landau, Germany, in 2009. Sizarr soon gained a support slot in Heidelberg, Germany for These New Puritans in 2010.

The band have also featured outside of Germany in The Guardian . As of October 2011, the band are completing their debut album due for release in spring 2012
Sizarr use a mixture of guitars, drums, synthesisers, loops and samples to create a post-punk sound. Deaf Sty’s vocals are reminiscent of James Blake and Jeff Buckley, but have a rawer rasp like that of Hamilton Leithauser from The Walkmen. The percussion of Gora Sou uses live Latin rhythms on top of synthesised beats, not dissimilar to those found on Friendly Fires records. The synth melodies and guitar hooks, often use a hypnotic rhythm as you’d find on Berlin Techno and Deep House. Read more on Last.fm.
