Description

The self-titled debut from Sister Double Happiness is a combustive masterpiece of San Francisco alternative rock. With the legendary Gary Floyd (The Dicks) on vocals, along with the inimitable Lynn Perko (The Dicks, Imperial Teen) and and innovative guitarist Ben Cohen (Pop O’ Pies) the band fuses the raw aggression of punk with deep, soulful blues and heavy, psychedelic riffs.

Originally released in 1988, this album captures the quartet at their most ferocious, bridging the gap between the underground punk scene and the emerging grunge sound. With Floyd’s powerhouse vocals and Ben Cohen’s searing guitar work, this record is a gritty, emotional tour de force.

With a bonus disc of early demos and Jack Endino demo’s. The extra disc provides an inside look at the genesis and growth of the band.

Long out of print, this reissue brings the thunderous sound of Sister Double Happiness back to vinyl for a new generation of listeners.

Gary Floyd – Vocals, Ben Cohen – Guitar, Danny Roman – Guitar, Mikey Donaldson – Bass, Miles Montalbano – Bass, Lynn Perko – Drums
