Electric Sister gets its influences from classic, heavy and punk rock, its spirit from the gods and goddesses of old, its power from everything Tesla invented. The Oakland, CA-based band spent more than a year earning a reputation for live shows that were consistently unpredictable and memorable. Up and down the coast, the band was tearing up club stages and ear-banging often unsuspecting audiences into submission; no matter the venue or the bill, Electric Sister was the band people would be talking about…

Electric Sister
The Lost Art of Rock & Roll

It is clear today that the golden days of rock and roll are far gone. Groovy, blues-based guitar riffs have been replaced by drop tunings and mass amounts of distortion. High and gravely rock voices like those of Axl Rose, Jeff Kieth (Tesla) and Sammy Hagar has been surpassed by monotonous growls and screams. However, there are bands out there who have stayed true to their rock and roll roots—Electric Sister is one of them.

The ever awesome Metal Underground did a video contest between two sisters – Electric Sister, and Sweden’s own Sister. All in good fun of course! Who won?? Find out for yourself…

WHO: Electric Sister (www.electricsistermusic.com)
WHERE: Oakland, CA
WHAT: Straight up rock and roll, think MC5 meets AC/DC meets KISS

LOWDOWN: When I think of Oakland, CA I think of the Raders, the A’s, 2 Pac, and M.C. Hammer. I’m serious, no disrespect but that’s all I really know about the joint aside from the one time I visited when I got lost and ended up driving across the Bay Bridge into Oakland. Did I mention I am fucking deathly afraid of bridges, let alone having no choice but to drive a car across a massive one?

Music Review: Electric Sister – The Lost Art of Rock & Roll

Electric Sister play a brand of hard rock that I thought was lost for good. As a teenager in the seventies, I have always had a special affinity for bands such as UFO, Alice Cooper, Rush, and Ted Nugent. There was a lot of other cool stuff around too, such as all those New Wave of British Heavy Metal acts. When Motley Crue first appeared, they really hadn’t defined the “hair metal” formula yet. But along with Poison, Cinderella, and even Def Leppard, that would become the dominant strain of metal. Today we listen to those groups, and ones like them with nostalgia – and about the only thing I seem to hear about any more are the really extreme, “heavier than heavy” metal groups.
