Torrent description
Seattle rockers My Sister's Machine first appeared in the early '90s, riding the wave of grunge into the mainstream and a record deal despite their relatively short existence. Vocalist Nick Pollock had played the guitar in Alice in Chains in the '80s, and remained in the close-knit Seattle metal scene that included those two bands as well as Gruntruck and Screaming Trees. The band also consisted of guitarist Owen Wright, bassist Chris Ivanovich, and drummer Chris Gohde. After two unheralded albums, they called it quits in 1994. Pollock would go on to form Tanks of Zen in the late '90s. In 1990, My Sister's Machine received the "Best New Band" award from the Northwest Music Association. In 1992, they released their debut album, Diva, to much critical acclaim. Lonn Friend (editor of the heavy metal/rock music magazine RIP) who did a weekly segment called "Friend At Large" on Headbangers Ball on MTV, talked about how much he loved the album. He also wore their shirt for two weeks on the show. Over the next year they did a tour with The Smashing Pumpkins who were also signed to Caroline. They toured the United States and Europe. They did in-studio interviews on Headbangers Ball promoting their video on MTV for their single, I'm Sorry. They also co-headlined a tour with Pantera. In 1993, they moved to Chameleon, a division of Elektra Entertainment, and released Wallflower in 1993. Just a couple months after releasing the album, Elektra Entertainment folded the Chameleon division, dropping all bands that were signed, leaving the album and band un-promoted. After a string of bad luck, they split up in 1994.
Forget about the Grunge tag that scares away many prospective listeners, this is hard rock on the verge of being metal. Any fan of great music in the vein of Alice In Chains needs these forgotten classics.
Diva 1992
Combining much of the spirit of other Seattle bands, namely Alice In Chains, Diva is a surprisingly strong record musically. Surprisingly, because the group's metal roots have been exhausted countless times by less capable bands to the point where the mere mention of the genre makes one shudder. However, on songs such as "Hands and Feet" and "I'm Sorry," the group does much to update the stale genre, creating riff-heavy tracks that are melodic as well.
