As the end of the year draws ever-nearer and the world of music begins to round up the best of all that we heard in 2013, attention also turns to the ones to watch in the year ahead. Here's an early tip for you: Sisters. Listen to the an exclusive premiere of their new single 'Hush Hush' below.
Sisters are a raucous but awesome three piece from Limerick, Ireland. With Andrew on drums, Aoife on bass and vocals and Niall on guitar and vocals, they bring a DIY attitude back to the fore, and they do it loud. Produced by Alalal (famed for Rufus Wainwright, The Rapture, The Vaccines and Metronomy), 'Hush Hush' is the perfect encapsulation of Sisters in one short, sharp burst of awesome.
Here are five reasons to fall in love with Sisters, and why 'Hush Hush' is worth three minutes and 28 seconds of your precious time:
1. When you're told they're 'ones to watch', it's for all the right reasons. There's no style over substance, just phat and beefy fuzz-rock done properly
2. The sheer balls-out bravado of their towering wall of sound
3. They make shamelessly infectious pop, that's never too sickly sweet
4. Their knack of driving rhythms, pumelling riffs and hypnotics make for an almighty combination
5. You're going to hear a lot of 1990s references, but Sisters kick shoegaze up the arse and bring the halcyon sounds of yesteryear racing into the future
