The
only thing better than Swedish chicks and rock n’ roll are rock n’ roll
bands WITH Swedish chicks in ‘em, and that’s what’s on deck here.
Sister Sin are a Swede Flash Metal
band with a throaty, Cher lookalike frontfox (Liv Jagrell)
belting them out, and an extensive knowledge of 80’s LA arena glam metal and
Judas Priest riffs. They sound kinda like Warlock (Liv can
do a dead-on Doro during the screamy parts) and kinda like “Out
For Blood” era Lita Ford, but mostly like teenage rock and roll machines
in Skid Row t-shirts, with Jet Boy posters on the walls and
bellies fulla blood guts and beer, who just want to fuckin’ ROCK ‘til
the fuckin’ DROP, baby.

Despite bein’ young and brassy, Sister Sin
refrain from layin’ on the dirty motorsleaze and just concentrate on
crushing your skull with big ‘ol HARD ROCK ANTHEMS, songs like the
Scorps-copping “Love Lies”, the Rock Goddess-y “Fall
Into My Dreams” and the stadium shaking wallop of “Kiss of the Sky”
(complete with canned crowd noise that may or may not have been lifted
straight from Sweet’s “Blockbuster”). Oh, and lets us not
forget the goth-tinged cover of “Paint it Black”. Hell yeah. I tell
you this, man - this record will make you wanna grow your hair long(er),
drink cheap beer, and bang your best girl (or fella, I dunno what yr up to)
on the hood of a Trans Am. And yeah, I know, you ALREADY wanna
do that stuff, but now you’ll have a really bitchin’ soundtrack for it.
(Dance of the Wicked is available at the
Sleazestore for $8!)
