As the band puts it, "SISTER is all about givin' in to whatever you are into. Live the way YOU want and not how some fuckin' narrow-minded piece of shit tells you to. Enjoy your fucked up life and throw yourself into whatever feels right. That's the SISTER way of thinking! Or just fuck things up till you drop…"
