Motor Sister brings vein-jolting music
When musicians from different bands and a daughter of a late icon join forces, they create music that dazzles the mind. This is the essence of Motor Sisters. The hard rock band is not strangers to the music scene, and each band member knows what it takes to become a rockstar in this world. Last month, guitarist/vocalist Jim Wilson of Mother Superior, guitarist Scott Ian of Anthrax, vocalist Pearl Aday— Ian’s wife and daughter of the late musician Meat Loaf, bass guitarist Joey Vera of Armored Saints and Fates Warning, and drummer John Tempesta of The Cult once again joined forces as Motor Sisters and released their second record Get Off. Each track has a hard dose of powerful vocal and instrumental performances.
Righteous “Coming For You” bleeds epic guitar playing by Wilson and Ian. Right off the bat, the thrilling noise of Wilson’s top-notch riffs blares from the speakers with great authority and Ian’s sizzling guitar solo relentlessly fills the atmosphere with pure energy. Both Wilson and Ian have not lost any momentum on “Coming For You.”
Headbanger “Excuse me, Your life is Exposed” is a well-written piece that gives an insight into what life feels like when a person isn’t true towards you. “You screwed up and it’s all your fault/The more you learn is the lesson you’re taught/Keep on running S.O.B./You can collect your karma as an absentee” discusses how some people will never learn from their mistakes until they get a taste of their own medicine. “Excuse me, Your life is Exposed” is a jam that features lyrics that people can relate to.
Bittersweet “1,000,000 Miles” is a thunderous composition with epic drum playing from Tempesta. Within the genre of hard rock, it is the drummer’s job to keep up with mood and tempo. On this tune, Tempesta holds everything together with solid drum beats that shake the speakers. “1,000,000 Miles” displays how talented Tempesta is on the drums.
Soul shaker “Bulletproof” shows the strong chemistry between Wilson and Aday. Throughout the whole track, the two do a great job of staying harmonically attuned with each other. The energy both vocalists bring to the table is amazing with how the smoothness from both vocalists compliments the theme the rest of the band is playing on. Wilson and Aday are a dynamic vocal duo on “Bulletproof.”
Closing song “Bruise It or Lose It” ends things with a bang and the best is hearing how deep Vera can play on his bass guitar. Within the musical havoc, solid vibrations can be felt emerging from the background and the sound is excellent due to how Vera’s skills stay on the same tempo. “Bruise it or Lose it” not only signifies the ending but also shows how Vera can still create his own havoc with his bass guitar.
Get off is a record that can show the world how hard rock is still alive, and Motor Sister do have a bright future ahead of them.
