This is a great song. The new songs over the last two or three years are really good. The Sisters have really regained their sense of songwriting and atmosphere. This songs gets a big thumbs up from me.

They've definitely got a second wind. Invigorated and sounding good.

[@eddodeleeuw2453]

Best line-up ever with Ben Christo on guitar.

[@sixSINsix]

I need a new Album

Wunderbar

[@nikopitoulis9967]

I could never understand how such part-time fans can attend a Sisters concert without dealing with the scene, the music, the band history, the singer and the line-up. Andrew is a fucking legend, his new crew are great guys, for me Dylan and Ben together with Andrew bring a lot of action to the stage. The new songs sound world class. Keep going, every song is a masterpiece. Sisters never run out of time. Keep going legends your sound is pure orgasm. 😎👌😍🙌🌍 PS: The worst thing is the fans who stand in the back row and complain about the sound quality. Maybe just turn on your brain.

What you said and everything! Great band, awesome songs!

[@justingies]

Help me out. Old guy. Been peripheral fan for more than twenty. Had tics for Rounabout UK, but THE VID crushed dream. Finally going to SF USA show, and I’ll do me best to not be a “C.”

[@tobiasforsner]

yeah! i really like this one! hope the lyrics will be available 😉

[@AttilaSins]

Finally he does not try to sing like he did in 80s, and you can actually hear his voice and what he sings instead of random sounds. Dream of beheaded, but maybe its time to produce new album, especially they have material to do so?

[@Seriously70]

I want studios albums, pleaaaaaase !!!!!

[@carlamccoy]

[@tuckedandtruckin]

[@Stevethesearcher]

Is that a first time performance of this song? I never heard them play this before.

[@pixeldetektiv]

Yes, it was played for the first time.

[@Stevethesearcher]

@@pixeldetektiv Thank you for your answer.With all these new songs they have at least two albums of material. Of course he wont record it but the material is definiitely there and the songs are very strong.

[@mmhmmmyearight7183]

I can’t find this song on iTunes 😞

[@JohnTarbet71]

It’s a new song not been released yet

[@TryptamineRitual]

Is this a dig at Peter Murphy or not?

[@grodeko8578]

Ta doido foda

[@Martin76122]

And where is the BASS PLAYER ?????

[@Martin76122]

What's the point of all this if there's never a good sounding studio version of the new material ???

[@f-a-rmusic5639]

Money. The touring brings money, Von sees the album release as a huge financial loss and doesn't want his band do the record for pennies/free

[@forever3797]

@@f-a-rmusic5639 However to be fair, there are teenagers releasing decent quality recordings from their bedrooms these days with a 10th of the collective experience these guys have. They could easily release some decent quality desk recordings of their rehearsals - the drums, bass and keys are already studio quality, the guitars would be great - maybe just a few vocal re-takes and a decent mix for a high quality digital download - call them rehearsal tapes - they will still sound a million times better than gigs recorded on a phone from a P.A. in a room. And even better than the original E.P.s (not slagging the E.P.s). I can't see anyone complaining...all it will cost them is a little bit of time (which they were going to invest in rehearsal anyway) and someone to mix them well - Eldritch or one of the boys might even be able to do it themselves. They deserve it - I'm 48 and have been a fan for 34 years. This version of the band and the songs are a modern contemporary version of the band that in my opinion is just as good as the earlier lineups.

[@oliverh.zissing9656]

Great song, but the Ice Road Truckers will be disappointed…

[@longi_au]

Maybe they should rename it don't drive on methamphetamines.

[@clvrswine]

Still not considered Gothic Rock, Andrew? ; )

[@therespectedlex9794]

Is he supposed to sound like that? I expect it's a goth thing.

[@Sjdiiejdjfjei]

No, he does not sound as good as he used to. It is getting better in my opinion but he is not there yet.

[@derduke9216]

To much samples not sure if the guitarrist really playing.

[@tompanoname3579]

Shitty sound in the club...

[@ThePlaceOfDeadRoads]

Awesome!
