#### **Release Latest Single “Feet On The Ground” Off Upcoming Debut Album ‘Leecheater’ (Out August 25)**

_“If you’re a fan of bands like Deftones, Hum and Failure, than Sisters are a group
you need to pay attention to.”- [Revolver](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2femail.cloud.secureclick.net%2fc%2f6813%3fid%3d18012813.46252.1.70c72f15c849cb8ad87cee31aec8aba5&umid=ff80110a-600e-4d46-91e9-53d8c6661aa8&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-8bc1f7ae1b23a7f424ba0af512ae5f6c4e6cda49)_

_“…very literally sounds like a massive wall of fuzz and distortion…has every bit
of that analogue sound that we crave, with swells of guitar feedback and a bass 
line that is so dirty you’ll need a shower after it enters your ears. They just 
don’t make music like this anymore.”- _**_Up To Hear_**

**About Sisters** 
Jason Blackmore (Molly McGuire, Death Eyes) Guitar, Bass, Vocals
Mario Quintero (Spotlights, Sleep Lady) Drums, Guitar, Vocals

As the dust settled on prolific runs with influential projects, Jason Blackmore (
Molly McGuire) and Mario Quintero (Spotlights) found themselves entering the pandemic
era with an abundance of creative fuel left in the tank. United under a new moniker,
Sisters, Blackmore and Quintero have joined forces to bring the best elements of
their respective previous projects together to create something new and menacing.

No stranger to the post-punk world, Jason Blackmore and his band Molly McGuire dominated
the early 90’s and were considered to be among the early pioneers of the post-punk
Kansas City music scene. Frequently pushing boundaries of what was possible in terms
of rock music, Blackmore and Molly McGuire helped to inspire a generation of bands(
Shiner, Boys Life, Giants Chair) who would go on to become torchbearers themselves.
Molly McGuire’s heavy and melodic sound was a precursor to the post-hardcore and
emo genres that would emerge later, and their music has been cited as an influence
by bands such as Deftones and Hum.

Similarly, Mario Quintero’s lead up to Sisters was equally as prolific. His other
primary (and still active) project Spotlights formed in Brooklyn in 2013, and is
often described as a mix of shoegaze, doom metal, and post rock. The band has released
several critically acclaimed albums and EP’s and their music has been praised for
its atmospheric soundscapes, heavy riffs, and haunting vocals.

And now… Sisters, an amalgamation of brooding nuances, driving rhythms, and distorted
guitar riffs that distinctly showcase the stylistic fingerprints of both Blackmore
and Quintero. “Around 2008, I wrote a handful of Molly McGuire-esque tunes and hit
up Mario to see if he would be down to record them for the hell of it at his San
Diego-based studio, Black Box,” says Blackmore. “He was into it and Sisters was 
born.” Fast-forward. The world shuts down. “When the pandemic hit in 2020, we decided
to pick five of our favorite jams and divvy up the lyrics and vocal duties,” Blackmore
continues, “then Mario mixed and mastered the songs and we self-released the Make
It Hurt EP. After it was released, we immediately agreed that we should make a full-
length record. Recording is always fun, fulfilling and therapeutic – and our chemistry
is undeniable.”

The duo’s first full length, Leecheater, is a gripping and immersive listening experience
that showcases the band’s ability to create massive sonic landscapes that press 
the limits of modern rock. While hard to cleanly label, Leecheater pulls heavily
from the more aggressive side of the nineties, but stylistically edges in the direction
of bands like Neurosis, The Cure, or Robin Trower. “We really wanted the record 
to sound different,” says Quintero, “like if an old Minor Threat record was recorded
through a Queens of the Stone Age machine – dry, dark, and chunky – I think we nailed
it.”

Leecheater is heavy and moody, but still with a strong melodic sensibility. Lyrically
the record pulls few punches, taking huge and divisive topics straight on with ruminations
on drugs, death, religion, and love. Produced at Quintero’s home studio in Pittsburgh,
the majority of Leecheater was recorded live over the course of two sessions. “Recording
has become much easier as I get older,” says Blackmore. “I used to get stressed 
out and uncomfortable because I wanted everything to be perfect, and I had everything
pretty much musically orchestrated and mapped out in my head going into a studio[
but] Mario is a genius. He is a natural. He has the technical side of recording 
down. Which I do not. So it’s the definition of teamwork. I bring in the songs and
he knows exactly how to get the right sounds – when you are recording with one of
your best friends in his home studio it’s effortless, stressless and magical.”

The band will be supporting the release with live dates starting on the West Coast
in the Fall. Stay tuned to Spartan Records for more details about Sisters, Leecheater,
and upcoming shows.
