Sister Helen is an aural onslaught of creative indie punk rock juices but the band’s sound refuses to follow any cliche patterns your ears might be used to.
Hailing partly from Brooklyn, NY and partly from Hell’s Kitchen, the band’s bio aptly states:
Sister Helen signifies a third way for modern rock music: neither to hide from itself in endless trickeries and modifications nor to manifest itself in cliches and blatancies; but to improve itself by drawing on the essence and potential that has always been there.
If you missed our very entertaining interview with the band, I recommend checking that out.
The songs on Hope To Leave No Harm cover many topics ranging from (but not limited to) “…baseball hall of fame controversies, self-loathing, gratitude for your parents and inconsistencies in the MTA’s F train service”.
Band members include Nathan J. Campbell on Vocals, Chris Krasnow on Guitar and Vocals, Eva Lawitts handles Bass and Vocals, and, last but not least, Clint Mobley banging on the Drums.
With their ultimate musicianship powers combined, they form the wall of sound known as Sister Helen …and folks… They do not disappoint.
From start to finish, this album is a journey through musical complexities and jammin’ tunes that is intriguing, never boring, and worth listening to through every minute.
Grab your copy of Hope To Leave No Harm. This album is one of my new favorites.
